Thread: Pork Pie - Could we produce some reasonable replicas?

Thanks for the info AC.

I can't find the parts on the club website can you provide more information?

Cheers Charlie

For those without access.

Attached is a copy the Della photo mentioned.

As mentioned by "elephanthide" on the UK forum:

It was during 1957 due to shortages of Lucas Lamps, Della Beacon and Sparto rear lights were introduced, so it would cover 88, 109 and 107 SW of that vintage.

These Della's appear to have been fitted after the Pork Pies - in 1957.

If were we to go this route - then the wipac lights from later models would be easier and cheaper I think - work just as good.

Olute has has standard series 3 lights at the moment - which work fine. I only wanted Pork Pies to give it the original look - as it would have come from the factory.

Do ealy 107s use pork pies or D lights?

The Series 1 Workshop Manual 1948 -58, shows D lights 55 - 57 and (L518) pork pies 55 to 58.(page 267)
I have never seen a 107 with D lamps although the manual has a diagram of a 107 with a D lights (page 11) and then another with L518s.(page 4)
(Not much help, ay?)

Here's a section from the parts manual - note it mentions Lucas Type (presumaby the L518s given the description of the different parts.) and later SPARTO.

Again, all a bit vague as LR hav use LR part numbers as well as lucas ones.

Note it also refers to the lights with and without reflectors which I have seen.

Here you go for the S1 club repro pork pie base kit. If you do the lense and cover these guys would be interested
