[yank]

Do they still make the red rectangle side lights for the back of a SIII?
Same ? on the rear big orange lights.

Side lights

Do you need new rubber bases or structural parts? I got some boots from a Brit Car place in Atlanta...I have not tried to fit them but this is what I purchased:

As for the big directional round lamps...I have 2 lenses but the bases are TOAST! Search on ebay, there were some there but pricey.

Thats good news on the side markes. I wish some one made new rubber for the tail lights. Thats really all I need.

I always try to direct folks to our host, out of respect for them hosting us and all- but I don't think they have the original red side marker lamps. (Les- please chime in if you've got these lamps).

Here's a place that does:

I have no idea how this guy gets this stuff- he occasionally has some of the obscure items. You'll pay for it though!

Ya, I only posted because I was pretty sure RN does not have them. I'm not sure if the big orange one's were used on anything but US series 3 trucks. Can't even find them on UK ebay.

[JayGoss]

I'm not sure either- but I've heard that some of the lights on NAS Series Rovers were the same as those used on other British NAS cars (MG, Triumph, etc). I wish I had some links to send you- but try to find some MG car parts suppliers via Google- you may luck out there. I think the side marker lights and reverse lights were used on MG's....perhaps the large yellow directional was used on another vehicle as well.

If you google the part # Lucas L882 nothing comes up. That make me think its a pretty rare item.

A pretty close replacement can be found a NAPA for $12...I'll be puting the amber ones in this week.

Always...but these Series III lights are NLA. I've spent many a lunch hour searching for Lucas part numbers.

I mite just go with the small ones for now. It will look a little funny with the rusy hallo around it.

fishguy: Are these bases flat or angled? As you probably know, the bases for Rovers should be flat, but many of these bases (such as for the Spitfire & GT6) are angled to compensate for curved sheetmetal.

I noticed at the British Invasion that these bases were being remanufactured in a silicone type rubber (or so it seemed to me). They looked very nice.

Two NOS 4" amber lenses just sold last week on ebay - for $64 and $54 respectively.

Ouch!

I have a couple of the original ones that have a square section that lights up and an angled reflector. Both yellow and red if you want them - I have no use for them.

Light parts redux

@ TedW

All I got was the Side light boots...my hardware for the sidelights is still serviceable. As I recall those were flat.

The big rear turn signals not so much. I'll need to replace those completely but I do have 2 decent lenses, nice price to sell lenses.
