CharlesElliott Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Looking through the archives, Vehicle Wiring Products sell clear indicator lenses and orange bulbs but they don't appear to have clear repeater lenses/bulbs (the ones that go on the front wings). Has anyone found a source for these? Charles --- My Caterham Academy 2004 Diary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frying Pan Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Weird 😳 I was thinking exactly the same thing! I was looking at the supplied repeaters yesterday, and decided I didn't want them on my car - the silver bits look very naff I've seen a couple of cars with Fiat Coupe / F355 side repeaters in the sides of the headlight which was neat. Westfields have a repeater in the body side which again is neat. Got to get something that is guaranteed SVA approved though... Cheers Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesElliott Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 Guy, Especially with by black/ali colour scheme the orange ones don't look great. I've ordered the clear indicator lenses but have already fitted the repeaters (which might have been a slight mistake!) so was really after lenses that would fit the existing repeaters. Oh well, first time out I'll smash them off no doubt so that might solve the problem Charles --- My Caterham Academy 2004 Diary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris K Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 was looking at a X5 yesterday n that had quite nice clear/white side indicators with the orange bulbs.. just a option Chris Fighting the battle against Eurasia.... or was that Eastasia.

Manxseven Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Haven't had a chance to look yet, but maybe worth looking (searching) for Motorcycle Accessories, they do lots of small indicators/repeaters which may fit the bill 🤔 L 7 BDA (No unfortunately, but) X/Flow Magic with 150bhp new engine sat in garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFO Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I noticed at Brands yesterday that someone had mounted their side repeaters in the side of their headlamp bowls...it looked very neat with the lenses being very small domes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 They are landrover defender front sidelight lenses. I picked up 2 for a quid each from a land rover breakers. The bulbs are easy to get from halfords. If you find a breakers in yellow pages, I am sure you could get them for a bargain price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Clear lenses and Orange Bulbs can be sourced from Classic Mini specialists. Try the Mini Shop in Enfield 020 88058085. For Silver bulbs that flash orange try DT part number P12496SV £14.99 ☹️ the pair, or your local Max Power Shop here. Hope this helps Chris.... H15 SVN Get it !

prs Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I did this back in the spring and used the ones from VWP, I think they cost about £3.00 pair. I did however have to slightly modify them to fit and it was necesssary to drill an additional screw hole in the wing as the original two holes did not line up, will look tonight for the code number.

Mark w Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 just bringing this up to the top again,did anyone manage to find a supplier of clear covers for the standard caterham repeaters on the wings or a supplier of a similar unit that can go ON the wing ( rather than IN the bodywork which most or the recessed ones seem to do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Thompson Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Yup, I did the indicators in the headlamp trick in my seven. www.btinternet.com/~v11ufo and then click "modifcations" for details. Cost in bits is about £25 and a few hours twiddling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrivRich Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Sorry to do this again...... I have the clear Defender side lights as the main indicaters, with orange bulbs. BUT I still have the standard repeaters in the cycle wings. Being as I know there are 3 holes under each one - big for wire and 2 small for mounting (why did I do what the build manual said - does anyone know of a source of clear lenses to fit the standard repeaters, and the cost 🤔 Cheers, Dave Dodge Viper Blue with Metalic Silver nose band and stripe Membership Number 66 😬 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I need a solution soon too (MOT next month) -one of my orange lenses (wing repeater) has fallen off. Would like to replace both with clears... Mine only have one screw holding the lens on - as fitted by Millwood - are these the same as CC 'originals'??? Keep BC free and open for ALL.

DrivRich Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Yes I think so. I have 2 screws through base and wing, but just one screw attaching lens to base.

Frying Pan Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Yep, one screw holding the orange lens on. I'm learning to live with mine. My car is Aztec, with black cycle and rear wings, but the repeateres can only just be seen from within the car, and don't annoy me too much. Of course, if I can ever afford CF cycles.... 😬 Guy See some pictures of the build here. Collected on March 1st! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
