Marker lamp lens

Is that like the Type 3s have, Brian? It's listed as a Type 3 part number if so.
Or is it the flasher lens?

nope, they are completely different.. squareish corner lens that sticks out away from the body... and they are not side to side exchangeable. i actually need one for each type 3. both driver's side units.

Side marker lens

Post by Editor » 27th October 2005 - 1:30pm

The only one listed in the Parts book I have is the Type 3 style, with choice of amber flasher or red/white parking light lens.

I can't see any extra part with the front flasher lens, though I can see your new one is smashed in your photo - can't see the other properly.

Is it an extra bit at the end of the front flasher lens? Maybe it's later than the parts book - or USA only.
Bit puzzled!

dave, i think we are miscommunicating... dang'd Queen's english!

there is no front turn lense that is the same as any type 3 front lense... the unit is a single piece of amber plastic

Type 4 LH front flasher lens

Post by Editor » 29th October 2005 - 9:44pm

Yes - 'marker' lens got me.
Front flasher lens, left-hand.
1973-on for USA is 411 953 141E turn signal lens with marker light (M553).

I think you're on your own on that Brian - unless someone here has a US-spec 412 they've pulled apart.
Try jane@janeterry.wanadoo.co.uk - I can't think of anyone else in the UK who might have one.
We could get the ones without the marker bit fairly easily I would imagine.

Anne got a guide book on SF from the mobile library on Thursday - it's looking good for Invasion 2006!

Invasion 2006

Post by Editor » 31st October 2005 - 6:20pm

Probably start at SF a couple of weeks before, up to Yosemite, then via Nevada to the Invasion, and back along the coast. Wondered about LA, but we did the Florida Disney and Seaworld some years ago. Wouldn't have minded seeing the QM at Long Beach though.
We can now fly Bristol (10 mins from home) to SF via Newark NJ, quite economically (as these things go anyway!). Continental, but there are worse.

I would have liked to include Vancouver Canada, but I don't think we can be away as long as that would need, and there are complications of car hire in one place and drop off in another. Nothing's set in stone yet.
