stallie Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) Quick question please - Did any CP models have all amber front indicator (repeaters) as opposed to the amber and clear ones? Edited May 7, 2018 by stallie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AarhusTr6 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Hi think it was only US models as I know the ones that came to Germany/Denmark etc they had the clear lens part. Also I know its very expensive to find the amber/clear ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobinTR6 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Hi, simply no. Original amber clear are hard to come by in good nick and expensive either used or new.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cvtrian Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Hi Repro lenses are available from MOSS https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/front-side-flasher-lamps-tr6.htmlat ~£27 each (and other suppliers) Bastuck have reproduced the complete unit front side and indicator units - which MOSS and other suppliers sell at ~£148 each side Australia may be a long way from the UK, but I understand the local TR scene organise bulk shipping of members needs to make it more cost effective? Good luck Cheers Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stallie Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Thanks all. Im just trying to work out why a 71 CP has amber ones... and eliminate they came like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cp25616 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 It could be that a PO found out that sourcing the amber/clear items was too hard and too expensive so he used USA spec items and just bought headlights that had sidelights fitted in them. A simple and effective conversion but not correct for a CP TR6. Alan G Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewP Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Easy to convert the US spec ones to UK though with a bit of ally and pop rivets. Makes it a much more cost effective option than the complete new units if everything else to do with the lights (rubber boots etc) are in good condition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keith66 Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Hi All Yep ref Ians comments, new repro's are around £26 in the UK so if much more than that i suppose its the shipping costs / import charges. But just thinking, under £30 for a lens seems well, cheap enough. Just think how much an equivalent would be on a modern car, double it then add some i would have thought. Looking at Royal mail shipping, if you want quick tracked insured up to £50 its £10 postage, but if you'll take a risk not have it tracked and wait down to £4.00. So theoretically you could get one deliver for around £30. Cheers Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stallie Posted May 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Cheers. Ive just agreed to buy the car which has been off the road for 30 years - I was suspicious that they might have been replaced after front end damage that Id missed but could see no sign of it.
