Re: Indicator lamp lens

There are two types Alan. Are they Rubbolite or Hella?
The rubber that holds the lens in rots.
I have new rubbolite lens.

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

Re: Indicator lamp lens

Mine are Rubbolite, Brian. Are the rubber mouldings also available? As worth replacing those at the same time, otherwise would have to resort to a strip of insulation tape to help prevent lens from coming loose.

My bus number (if any): RML2672

Re: Indicator lamp lens

The base plates are not availablle, the lenses themselves are very rare indeed so you should expect to pay very handsomely for one. A few blobs of silicone inside the rubber will keep the lens in place.
