I will from here on out be grabbing these plastic pieces of junk every time I see them at the salvage yards. The last pair I think cost me a buck at Wrench-A-Part...or they may have just given them to me with my other parts...

I had no idea these were made of gold now......

I've seen them go for $10 each so assuming it's a pair, I guess not too surprising. Common part to get broken and dwindling supply.

At least shipping's not included.

where have you been mike?

Any one I see I grab...

Thats why everyone should keep their wagons locked when Sprocket is around!

I always see people looking for them on the forums. I assumed that they were getting rare.

I have an extra driver's side. $15 shipped. They are getting hard to find. They break easily, and most people do not know how to remove them without breaking them. They also distort when heated for too long, and crack or just melt.

Really? Damn those are expensive.

Thanks Mike for my free set last year.

:hide:

Seems a little steep, but all of our stuff is going crazy!!

Mike sure they are not chalky. They look nice but sometimes they get a chalky texture and it rubs off causing a ugly spot.

If they get chalky, you can sand them gently with 200 or 400 grit carbide paper, and clear coat them. Most of them will be chalky.

Mine had the funk so a few months I bought an NOS set on evilbay for 12 bucks buy-it-now, ten bucks for shipping, they were on there for about three hours before I grabbed them, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
The guy listed them with just the part numbers and had no idea what they were for.

Wait,I thought the chalky appearance is their normal appearance.Fred you mean they can be
made more transparent.I want to make a mold and pour a clear lense as the stocks have a
almost useless output!

Sometimes that rough finish turns to powder and begins to come off.

Put brighter bulbs in them. I did. Helps a TON!!! 200OZ had the bulbs so he might be able to share the part number.

Sounds good to me!
Thanks
Jim

Making molds would require a 4 piece mold. outside, inside and the back and front for the front clip.

They will not be more transparent, but can have a smooth finish.

Not really... my friend was casting 1 piece resin shells for HO locomotives. Even did 1 piece shells for clear windshield castings. Got the whole kit at the hobby store.

You can never have enough spares of these things. The guy that bought my OCC low balled me so much I sold it without its pair of good lenses

I just listed one in the Parts for Sale section - FREE (U pay shipping).
Send me a PM.
First come, first serve.
