I wish to order some of these from here (item number 14 - 7045) http://www.scparts.co.uk/index/lang-2/lkz-195/markenid-4/katnr-45/kat_sprache-2/hrubnr-1238/rubrik-3452/index.php?tpl=clickable_vertikal.tpl&artikeldetailtop=-500

It's the only place I've seen them listed - they are 53GBP about $1.50 each. It's the only thing I need from this mob at the moment so don't want to order just these - anyone else would like a set to build the order up and share the post?

Or find a good second hand, should be lots of MK1 speedo binicles around, or do as cush said, make something or find something suitable, maybe from a small clock?

I think Wombat is after the little window on the side of the binnacle and not the glass in front of the speedo.

Morris 1100 is right - it's the two little plastic blanking piece either side of the binnacle that light up the parcel shelf when the lights are on. I have two but after 40 years they have turned yellow and brittle as plastic does and have cracks.

Yours if u want them, I have an oval binnacle now.
