Help finding Pork Pie lights

[Lord Asker]

Hello, I've recently bought a 1955 86' Series 1 and trying to find Pork Pie lights for it. My searches have only shown that I can source new ones from the UK with a prohibitive cost in shipping. Can I find some down here in Australasia or will I have to bite the bullet and get them from the UK?

Thanks.

Hi Lord Asker, Brian James Pearl who is active on many of the Series Land Rover FB groups (Series Shed, Series Land Rover Downunder etc) posted a set for sale a short while back. They were original Lucas stock but pretty expensive from memory. I’m not sure if he is a member on AULRO, but others might know…

Cheers, Matt

Freight costs went up during Covid and never came down unfortunately.
Were the Pork Pies from the Series I Club because they got them re-manufactured. Last thing I ordered from them was a couple of gasket sets and the freight was more than I expected. I can't seem to get onto their website at present.
A quick search shows a range of prices for re-manufactured Pork Pies.

I have odd Pork Pies on my '56, one has a glass lens the other a plastic lens. I guess one was replaced at some point.
One day I'll be able to justify the expense of replacing them.

They also have the reproductions at almost same price as genuine.

Damn this is probably the best I could find for the moment thanks, much cheaper than buying from the UK.

Cheers.

On a related query, has anyone come across new/ repro that also integrates the indicators?

I have what I suspect were actually trailer lamps, it would be nice to have something more sympathetic but I don’t like the idea of having to stick extra lights on.
