Hi Ben,
As an OE item the Triumph unit is as such obsolete, I do have some in stock but these are at prices that people have (for me to purchase them, being that they are as such obsolete) asked for them. I do stock the early orange/clear lens version (so mazak chrome bases) AND also THEN, a clear lens version (my own production) that are then put together with orange bulbs, that are a available.
Good to hear you are on the road.

Hi Adrian,

can you supply just the clear lens for these? my car has good bases but the plastic is shot on both.

I was going to cast some myself (as I'm in the process of doing with some other bits) but if you have them it saves me a shed load of time!

(also need both screen seals but I'll PM you about them!)

to the OP - my (admittedly limited) research turned up that these were fitted to Dolomite's and possibly some Marina's - a search for the Lucas code often turns up that they were fitted to slab front Mini's but the plastic lens is different in this application - I don't know if the base is the same or similar though.

also the side indicators are from export MGB's and were available orange or red - I got some gaskets cheap from a seller on US eBay just before christmas.

Hi Andy,
Email me and or chat about the lens, my new ones are for the early lamp (as fitted to the M up to '75 and retro fitted to lots of late cars) as the silvered edge version (Dolomite units) crack very easily and the silvered edge failed the day after you fitted them. The idea is to fit the mazak version which can be repaired and re-chromed and the new lense with an orange bulb which gives it a stunning OE 'look' that will last for years.
