Re: IML: Installing Replacement Tail Light Lenses on a '62

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

I don't remember the name of the place that I bought them from. It was 
through the National WPC Club Magazine, but over 20 years ago. I am 
sure that there are others out there. Our own George Laurie may even 
supply them. Check out the OIC web site for details.

Can you still buy replacements tail lens for a '62?  Can you reveal your
source and the price?

the "reflectors" inside the old lenses and install them

finally
put them on the car in 2003.

Paul, thanks for the input.  The lenses I bought were probably from 
perhaps
the same person?  I ordered my from a man in Irondale, AL.  The lenses 
do
have the screw holes already in them from the injection molding 
process.  It
is just that I was unsure what size screws were used with the OEM 
lenses.
The replacement lenses also required removal of the reflector clear 
lenses
inside and reusing them with the new ones.  I now have another set of 
the
clear internal lenses thanks to Mark Evans.  I still have the OEM 
lenses for
the car, but I was never sure if the right size screws had been used 
with
them.  Not all of the ones I removed were the same size.  The original
lenses have internal crazing cracks in them.  They are still usable, but
don't look too great.
