No worrys😉 i didnt know they are that hard to find,ive seen complete units on the samba but no lenses.

about 2 years ago i asked gary constantine (?) from brezelworks if he would consider reproducing them but at the time he wasn't interested. it might be time to try again.

I have a number plate light housing in great condition if you're interested. I don't have the inner parts or the rubber seal though - but most of it is available from cip.com in the USA. I've purchased numerous parts from them - prices are pretty good and they ship very quickly (4 days from the USA to regional NSW both times I've bought items from them).

PM if you're interested in the number plate light housing.

Best of luck with your search,

Kris. 🙂

I think the 57 number plate lense had a flat piece of plastic across the bottom????

it wasn't a pope's nose as they were used with tail lamps with no stop lamps.... very early....
as the pope's nose was the red stop lamp...
