Front Indicator lens for S London RML

On ROOM Roy said those for the ex South London RMLs were still available, we need one for RML 2608, can Roy or someone tell me who we can get one from please? Thanks

My bus number (if any): RTL 960, RMC 1458, RM 1585 and several RTs

Re: Front Indicator lens for S London RML

The more popular one was made by rubbolite. It seems that these are no longer available. The other one which is the one you describe, was I am told made by Hella and is supposed to be still available. Try Dave at Airlek. The number will be on another thread.

Re: Front Indicator lens for S London RML

I think I got one of the Rubbolite lenses from Airlec a while ago after someone on here asked for one, it's still on the shelf somewhere. Dave said it was the last one his supplier had.

Re: Front Indicator lens for S London RML

Thanks Roys ! Checking the make, it could be a rubbolite, not sure yet

Re: Front Indicator lens for S London RML

The one we need is a Rubbolite it has 6432 on the O/S one with an arrow pointing towards the rear of the bus.
Not sure if these are handed, surely you just fit it the other way up on the N/S. Any one got a spare one?

Re: Front Indicator lens for S London RML

That is this one (sold long ago). The complete lamps are not available either so if you do find one, put a couple of dabs of silicone on it to hold it in place because the rubber will be rotten.

Thanks Roy, I saw that and have E mailed the seller to see if they have any more! I wonder if any other lens fits that body.

Re: Front Indicator lens for S London RML

Day for resurrecting old threads

I need another Rubbolite 6432 lens for the N/S of an RML.
I realise these are now hard to find and failing anyone having a spare for sale I wondered about converting to an LED unit that some suppliers offer, like this one but not sure of fixing or dimension.
