brian-nz Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi All I recently purchased a new tail lamp mounting gasket - the one that goes between the lamp and body - and find it is too small. The gasket measurement is 5 1/2 inches but my tail lamp is 6 1/2 inches. The tail lamp is numbered Lucas L 549 which appears to be the correct one. The gasket provider assures me that 5 1/2 ins is correct and fits snuggly on their lamp bases. Can anyone advise which is correct. Do I have an incorrect lamp base or will I have to purchase new ones or somehow make a gasket. I have tried heating the gasket to make more pliable without success.

vivdownunder Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Brian, they are 5.5" on my 3A. I can't see how a 6.5" length base would fit the rear guard mount pads. Regards, Viv Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brian-nz Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Sorry, my base measurement is 6 1/4 ins or 16cm. Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
