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



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?

I bought a pair of reproductions for my '62 about 20 years ago. They had the holes drilled already, and the original screws worked fine. I had to remove
the "reflectors" inside the old lenses and install them
into the new ones. Other than that, the job was a piece of cake. I 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.
