Wheel centres, loads on ebay from various printers, mine were very good quality. Bonnet catches talk to Adrian@. I spoke to him about some but didnt need them in the end, just realigned bonnet.

The chrome light surrounds are Royal Enfield pilot light surrounds? Type "Royal Enfield pilot lights" into eBay and you'll find them.

Bonnet catches look like (slightly modified) Classic Mini ?

clicky and possibly many other Leyland cars of that era?

Are these pilot lights standard fit on a S3? If so should they be clear or frosted glass as both are available.

The lens is clear but ribbed to diffuse the light. The idea with the positioning of the light is for it to shine upwards into the headlight illuminating it.



The downside to this was they filled with water and corroded the electrical connections and bulb holder.

Parts from the museum.
