This job has been on my list for a long time. We've discussed before the fact that the Cobra doesn't have a chrome bezel, and I kept putting off looking into it, thinking that it would be a tough conversion.
The reality is that a standard indicator backplate (L794/795 & L691/692) will fit easily. I'd already sourced a couple of backplates from E Bay, a long time ago. If you do this job, don't get the backplate with the double terminals for side and brake lights.
Hello Dave, As usual I have missed all of this completely, not aware that it was a topic discussed before.
As should be expected, you have got there while us novices are still searching. I spotted a photo of a Le Mans 62 with a Chrome Bezel but the owner thinks that the factory fitted it as an optional extra?
We have just sourced some 7cm diameter bezels on ebay which slip behind the glass but am still waiting for their delivery to play about with them.
Prior to that, having failed to find a replacement lamp, we had played about with creating a 1cm of chrome by moving the internal outwards using a spacer.
My Blog Topic on the subject. So its back to the searching again.
Well Done - A very nice job.
