Keith66 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Hi All This really is a stupid one and largely my own doing. A while ago (not sure how long but a few years) I bought a new front wing indicator repeater unit to replace my broken rusty one. Exactly as I wanted, UK spec with the chrome edging, great matched the original I still had. But recently when fitting my LED’s I noticed a bit of a prob. I’ve got two LH lenses, so I assume I didn't realise they were different or i just picked the wromg part number, stupid. Ok they both fit and it not the end of the world but now I know I’m not happy, but there is a simple solution, buy a new RH lens. Unfortunately things are never that simple because the chrome edged ones are NCA. So I either have miss-matched lenses or as an alternative I have miss-matched lenses, lol. So two questions, does anyone know who can supply a chrome edged RH lens? And I’ve e-mailed most of the people I can think of but no joy, they all seem to be plain amber. Or does anyone have one to sell or swap. Cheers Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yarm 783 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 eBay might be your best bet Keith, one will pop up, just save a search and keep looking every now and again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
openroad Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Hi Keith, I will have a look for a Right Hand original Chrome one for you, can't say for definite, but there's a good chance. Conrad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 I have an original pair though not in the first flush of youth as the silvering is fading a little. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeanF Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 I "renewed" the silvering on mine with chrome paint. Rubbed down with scotchbrite, cleaned and masked up, plastic primer and chrome paint from an aerosol. Very happy with the result as you wouldn't even notice at 70 mph. Did the same with the front indicators/sides. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keith66 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hi Sean + All That does look pretty good. I've alway been a bit dubious about those chrome paints in the past but on a small area it looks great. But if anyone does have a RH i can swap it or buy it.
