Hi Guys
Just wondering how much is the going price for a single Rear Tail light 2 screw ( whole assembly)

You can still buy aftermarket 2 screw lenses, but these are inferior material to the Lucas originals- they go dull and fade quickly.

They pop up on ebay. Good condition around $50. Excellent condition over $100. Some on there now. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 78&alt=web

Someone we all know is in the process of having good quality 2 screw lens made, like the originals. :wink:

Does that mean I should keep mine and try and get them repaired ? When did they switch to 3 screw?

3 screw is early

UK cars used 3 screw. Also used here until 1967 approx, when Lucas Australia brought out the simplified 2 screw lamp. They were available here until Lucas Australia stopped production. You can still buy aftermarket 2 screw lenses, but these are inferior material to the Lucas originals- they go dull and fade quickly.

If your original Lucas ones are faded, but not crazed or cracked, they come up OK with retinting. I bought the stuff from autoBarn a while back.

How can they, legally, if they are not being made by Lucas Australia?

Will Lucas Australia complain? Lucas Australia was sold off and would no longer be part of the surviving Lucas company.

Attachment: image.jpg Attachment: image.jpg I have one of each on my 1968 Mini Deluxe, Australian made. The three screw lens has made in England on it, the two screw has no maufacturer on it. Is my two screw lens original and the England made one not. ???
