I take it you will have to reuse your old lenses, a good polish and they will look new regardless.

I was told to get some stainless replacement screws so let me know if you find any nice ones that aren't in a huge bulk buy quantity! cheers


Yes I’ll have to reuse lenses. I noticed the deeper lenses also house a reflective tin think to reflect the light bulb which is a bit flakey. No chance of getting those.

A massive coincidence is that I’ve been trying to obtain stainless screws today which I am told are 4BA X 1 1/4. My agent only has countersunk so I’ll need to do some homework.

I replaced all the lense screws on my S1 as they were all rusty and gnarled, a bit like myself. Got them from Holdens part number L79453203696 and £3 a pair. Total bill with VAT and carriage was £27. That hurt a bit for 12 screws!

That was October 2018 so no doubt due to Brexit they will probably have gone up in price!

Are they so flaky they cannot be re-plated or re-tinned? Or possibly some chrome paint if they can be smoothed down.
My old ones disintegrated so no chance of that laugh2

Just a thought however.. do any other lucas lenses come with them? Might be interchangeable..

I don’t even want to fart in the same room as them as I fear they will disintegrate too.

Good question re applications.

Here’s a link to the stainless screws

Although maybe wait until I get mine to double check.

It’s these rascals within the lenses which I need.

Due to the fact that the aero lenses are deeper there’s a need for additional reflective plates.

Any clues?
