Red reflector inside door

[red griff roger]

Anyone know what this has come off? Mine has decided to self destruct. It is the round, red reflector screwed onto the inside of the doors on the Griff. It has 'Brycrest England' stamped on it.

Cheers

Got mine from ITS, but he seems to be sold out: http://www.itstvr.com.
Can't get on Clever Trevor and the TVR Car Parts site doesn't seem to work.
They're out there, somewhere.

Leven do some nice alloy ones, much better than the cheap black plastic.

I'm fairly sure the Jaguar part number is DAC 3022 - I was told it is off an XJ series 3 but could be wrong. I'm on the lookout for one as well so will have a good rumage at Tatton Show this coming w/e.

Thanks all. But reply from Jaguar below. If I find a source other than a scrappy, I will pass on.

Hello Sir,

Thank you for your recent parts enquiry. Unfortunately, this product is now obsolete and no longer produced by Jaguar. I feel the only possibility is to search for a reproduction or good second hand item. You would need to search either in the Specialist Classic Magazines or on the internet.

I am sorry I cannot be of more help in this instance but please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance in the future.

Got mine from HHC. Werent too expensive either. Might be worth giving them a shout to see if they would post you out a couple.

OH YES........

I had same problem on my drivers door, I bought a pair of reflectors from TVR Car Parts..

[Griffer]

Mine broke up around the screw eyes on the reflector surround. On my pre-cat, the screws were'nt just holding the reflector,they were holding the door trim moulding in tight to the door corner as well, putting strain on the screw eyes.

When I replaced mine, I put a countersunk screw behind the reflector to act as the door trim fixing, thus releiving the pressure on the reflectors, saving possible future breakage.

I dont know if this method of fixing was the same on all cars, but I could feel beneath the leather behind the reflector position a countersunk depression in the fibreglass so maybe the trim fixing screws were just never fitted on my car. Hope this is helpful to some.

Incy has it - those are the guys.

However, in my searching, I contacted Leven. They reckon they need an order of about 25 to make it worth their while. (Not sure why 25 - anyway).

Anyone else interested in ally reflectors? I would start off with two.

Does anyone know if the same are fitted to Chims? If so, how do I link to the Chim forum?

Are Leven proposing to make ali versions of these?

This is what they'll look like: -



It's standing on a bit of black plastic for the pic!

[TVR Beaver]

How do you get the nut's on thoes then!!

need someone from the Ape section I guess?

[MPoxon]

I can vouch for the quality of the Leven reflectors - very nice indeed. Still havent got around to fitting mine yet.

Yes, if there is sufficient interest. I will start a new thread to see if we can rustle up some numbers.

[Barreti]

I'd be worried about the question Beaver raised. How on earth would you get the nuts on and hold the allen key at the same time.
Seems they could make an already difficult job - taking off the door card - even more difficult.
Perhaps if they were captive bolts instead of allen head ?

The other thing, and I'm sure its not a thing at all but I just want to clear it up, the original plastic version looks quite low profile whereas the ali version looks much thicker.
Does it make any difference? I can't remember where the reflector sits when the door is closed.

Resolve those and I'll put my name down for a pair so you can get your order in Roger.
