Default blackout shield

Kevin,
I bought mine off of Brian Asbury a few years back at the Duluth Military vehicle convention.You can check with him to see if he still has any left in stock.

Kevin,
Here is a part of a e mail that I recieved from Brian Asbury, recently. At present, he is on vacation. He should be back in a couple of weeks. Hope that this helps.

Default glass diameter

Richard,
I measure 8 1/4 inches across.The glass panel must be thick as there is approximately 1/4 inch gap between the ring and inner dome.
I was told once that the lens could possibly fit from an automobile.Thanks for your help.
Derk.

This is what you are looking for. Lucas and CAV are the same shells with a different badge. This is the standard glass. They are easy to spot at swapmeets, by the flats on the sides.

Default Lucas glass

Thanks Lynn,
I don't ever remember glass lenses like that here in Manitoba at any of the flea markets or junk shops but at least now I know what I am looking for.Maybe Richard can help me out when he can check in his attic or I will contact the lead that Paul has listed.I am in no rush for one but would like to complete it at some point.I will still have to find another headlight before I put them on my carrier.
Regards,Derk.
