Those aren't red indicators, they're rear / stop light lenses for a old landrover.

As above, look like brake light lenses for a Defender/Series Land Rover!

Looks like some nice buys there Louis. Can't see why you couldn't use the red indicator lenses, Lucas wouldn't produce illegal products, but don't take my word for it though.

See you took my advise and got new mk2 rear lights then

Were the red lensed ones not fitted as tail lights on land Rovers and the like? Looks a nice project!

EDIT - oops! Must read further ahead before posting! I'll go and write that out a few times now Bart Simpson style!

..........damn, totally forgot to buy a trigger handbrake yesterday.

Evening all,

Seen as there isnt going to be an update untill next week, just thought id let you all know i've ordered a waiste rail for the rear quarter.

So will get on with cutting the old quarter out next week,

When cutting the quarter out, can i do the waist rail at the same time or will it loose its shape? do i need to brace it?

Cheers

Louis

Another quick update,

My Trigger Handbrake arrived from Huddersfield Spare, very fast delivery, only ordered it from them at MITP.



New Genuine Waist Rail for when i replace the n/s rear quarter.



Also just ordered a Mondo Sport Steering Column Drop Bracket.

I ordered quite a bit of stuff off ebay aswell for the resto

arrow magnets
welding clamps
new air line and gun
rubber mallet
hammers and dollys
aluminium sheeting
tin snips
colbolt drill for drilling the welds out
sanding discs

i also bought some mk1 rear light conversion plates a few weeks ago that i wont be using, so they are for sale £12 or £15 posted, sounds resable i think?? just pm me.

They aren't indicator lenses. They are stop/tail lenses for Morris 1000 Traveller/van/pickup. Also other vehicles, no doubt.

Ooop, sorry. Didn't get to the last page before posting.

We don't appear to have a 'delete' option for our posts. Not sure if the old software had this either though!
