Hi, Just wondering if anyone out there has a Wasp Tail Light Lens and/or The Chrome Surround they would be able to sell??
Even a cracked lens or surround that needs re-chroming!! condition is not hugely important!
Even if you just have one or the other
I Know I am pushing my luck
Many Thanks
Josh

looks Like I am outa luck so decided to look at suitable replacement
Thought about VW type 2 60's tail lights, sort of similar (slightly bigger)
Easy enough to get hold of and replacement lenses are $20 a pair including postage
If anyone has any other Ideas I would be grateful
Josh

Looks like a pretty good sustitute considering the unavailability of the genuine light.... and early VW parts are plentiful as there are a lot of after market manufacturers.

i reckon its as good match too, as not too many would pick or know the difference.

Well Spotted KB
I reckon it is and have bought it, the ones I have are clear

Josh,
You can use Amber "Lens Dye" - cheap and does a pretty good job.

Will have to try that KB
With the indicator light on the guards when they fade, I have just used colored globes
Josh

Hey Joshua,

With the guard lights, they don't need to be orange (and indeed many weren't) as orange blinkers weren't mandated until about 1972ish.

Post any Aussie-delivered Belletts anyway.

Hey, why this interest in Wasp tail lights.... ????

I have a theory, but I'm wondering if you're keeping it a surprise?!

Also, I have a single spare lens which I'd lend out if you were going to get new lenses made but I will need to keep in case I am ever bumped in the bum!

Thanks Dave

Can you get them made??, I didnt know that! do you know where??

We picked up a couple a while back, one was complete the other wasn't.
Am having the backs re-zinked and i'm re-wireing them and getting Oz to re-make the seal rubbers from the one good one

I thought I had 2 chances with the lens but I thought I may have a chance with the chrome surround

I think I know your theory and if your theory is the theory i'm thinking that you theory is
then your theory could very well be right

Josh

i just cant keep up with all these theoroies....

main myhead spin

Sorry "ZO" didnt know it had taken that much of a toll

Josh

You funny ZO.

I know what I'd like the theory to be..............

And I'd like to see it at the NATS!

Cheers, Matt.

Sorry Matt not going to make it this year
