1 inch hole saw
Hi
I've been making replacement lenses for the marker lights for years, lacking a source of NOS. I'll have to check the hole saw size, but I have one that the ID of the cut out is just right for the marker lamps. I've used red lexan for tail lights and clear for the front. If you want he white sand both sides with 220 grit wet sand paper gives and acceptable white. Or if you can find white plastic boxes saw the holes out of that. Best done by clamping the plastic on a drill press with some wood underneath for saw clearance on a drill press. If you use 1/8 inch thick lexan you don't get the warping of the thinner originals. Cheers Phil

Hi Mick,
If the insides that hold the bulbs are rusted away an LED replacement insert for a "magnalite" flashlight will fit in quite nicely. I found some tiny connectors off an old computer hard drive fitted exactly over the two prongs on the insert. Wires could be soldered to them but keep the heat from getting to the LED's . Lens's cut from a diffuser cover from a flourescent ceiling light worked well. Wire a 1watt 100R resistor between the led and ground if it is a 6 volt system. Polarity is important. If it doesn't work swap the leads around. Some gasket sealer will keep the dust and water out. Cheers,
