OK....time to look at posting our light off to Chazza........

Yes I saw them I bet they'll sell too!

amazing! thats allot of money for a pair of tail lamps. a good way to spend your $900 from the tax office...

i think with $900 i could make quite a few pairs, just need the time to do it thats all, which i aint got at the moment

how would you make the silver ring part on the porkie lamp? i cant see any join line so it would have to be a flat ring pressed into shape?

Hi everyone,

I have reproductions coming, stop/tail/flasher. Once I got them all ready I will make some pictures. They won't be that cheap... about 150£ (UK Pounds) for a set, including shipping to Australia. But they look great and as they are combined stop/tail/flasher thus an improved version of original they should be OK for road worthy or re-registration...

Give me a couple of weeks, but if anyone is interested then... keep in touch.

Take care,

Good one Hebe - are they from the Series 1 club (UK)?

150 quid - - oh well it's less than 300 quid

Look forward to some pics.

I got a lead on lenses.

Saw a bloke on ebay that is selling remanufactured Wipac tailights.
I queried him on making pork pie lenses.

Here's the reply

Hello Paul,

my website is David Azzopardi Manufacturing - Plastic Lenses.

Lenses look easy to make.
re red lens, what is diameter and if I sat just the lens flat on a table,how high would it sit?
I can give you prices based on this.

Would you have a demand for Wipac lens S.170, I think it fits old land Rovers also.

Thanx- David

You could always e-mail the guy on e-bay who is selling pork pies for $600 a pair or $300 each and ask him - they have been relisted.
