I tried to save it but it slipped out of my 'and chief!
I've gone and cracked the glass on one headlight. Does anyone know where I can locate a 7" glass. Vertical lines over the whole area apart from a diamond in the centre (North South axis longer than the East West axis with narrower lines inside that.
Here's hoping.

It's for the B.S.A. but I don't think it's 'legit' and there are no manufacturers markings on the glass.
Looks like an excuse to visit Beaulieu again next year! Cheers. Tony _________________ It may work in practice, but not necessarily in theory! |

Hi
It certainly doesn't sound as if it matches any of the 3 BSA cars I photographed at the M/cycle museum, one of which is like the picture you posted sometime ago. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

Tony,
What you have described sounds like the first iteration of the Lucas pre-focus light unit. I don't know how long they were in production but it wasn't long. They were succeeded by the more common unit with Lucas name in the centre circle. I had a look around the usual suppliers and 'bay but didn't see any.
Beaulieu might be br your best bet

Wadya know, I was there and two weeks later... Luckily the glass is split across in only one place from edge to edge and I do have the "Rally mesh screens I can fit over it.
Many thanks for all your help everyone and should you see one at a 'gathering' I'll pay the full whack and beer money too!
