Hi Gents;
Would anyone have available or know where to obtain the red and white screw in plastic covers for the brake and gearbox warning lights please. I require at least one of each please. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sergio, maybe you could fit some panel mount LEDs instead?

"Element14" are distributors for CPC/Farnell in Australia and have some 24v LEDs that should do the job. Have a look at the 8mm type, it looks like you can get a matching pair in RED and WHITE. It should be possible to use the original holes in the stop flag but you may have to remove the bulb holder assembly inside?

What a great idea, thanks Dave!

I've seen something like this used on a couple of RMs but can't remember which ones! Not original but the do the job.

I'm puzzled!! I have just dismounted an RT speedo box flasher warning light. The red lamp unscrewed from the terminal block inside. This is the same bulb as for the Westinghouse unit on RMs.

According to the RT parts list, and LT bulb chart this bulb is a 28v 0.4 amp part number TIN995-9118.
Before 'm sure there was a link to this

but that isn't a screw in bulb I'm assuming the red and white covers come off but what bulb is it and where can I get some please.

I get mine from Airlec at Rye, he sells them by the boxful or packet of 10.

Hi Brian

I obtained the 24v 0.4amp single contact miniature bulbs from CPC, all my old spares are in boxes somewhere but I will give you the part no if I can find them tomorrow.

Thanks Brian and Roy so they are screw in bulbs then! So how do you get the coloured covers off? Carefully I hear you say, but do they just pull off? Can you get replacement coloured covers?

Does anyone have the contact details for Airlec ?

The last time I tried, I could not locate them.

Thanks.

Took two RT red ones apart, the bulb is screw type!! The lens has no thread and pushes on the bulb which has a ferruled collar , which suggests they may have been an assembly. Images here I hope!

Which is all very odd as most people think the RM one is a push in bulb with a screwed lens to hold it in place! Has anyone changed one or tried to on an RM or RT?

I have links for suppliers of the red and white covers but they have screwed threads also. A screwed lens would not fit into the RT terminal block, only the bulb.

Airlec 01797 224466, ask for Dave.

Mystery solved!! Thanks to a photo from Dave Simmons :)

When I took the bulb units out, I tried to pull off the lens without any luck, after soaking I tried again and the lens came off leaving the bulb with the metal screw piece of the lens in place, as in the pictures, so it looked like a screw in bulb and both were exactly the same!

I have just managed to push the bulbs out from the metal collars and they are the bulbs as shown on Chris's old link.
I really wondered why I had two units different to the rest of the world or if there had been a mod since the RTs were fitted with them. I can now get new lens and bulbs ordered :)

Following links provided I found what I thought was a supplier of the red White/clear lens, they are for guitars and amplifiers, unfortunately they are too big! :( They have 9/16-27 threads. The ones RS components offer are also of that size... Anyone got a stockist please?
