UPDATE on parts needed.

Picked up a mint oil cooler today and some idler wheels. So theres a couple crossed of the list.

Who can explain the blue glass in the headlights. I have one of each, one clear and one blue.

Ron have you found any thing for me yet??

Regards Rick

Default Headlights lenses?

I have only seen blue NOS headlights in NZ, yet the Aussie ones on MLU always seem to have clear lenses?!?

Was this a early versus late production issue?

Has anyone got a reason for the use of blue laminated glass?

Rob

Have you a copy of the pictorial parts list? (mine is loaned out) I think it shows the blue lensed lights as cancelled.
