I have one second hand loose one, not sure which side but it still has the leading and flange on it. Had thought to mount it centrally as a spot light mount. That was when the cars were not worth anything! The car must be a bit ill. I have a nose where pretty much only the headlights are good but I was going to get this repaired.
If you do the car as non British the lighting is simpler and I think much prettier. Technically not legal but I never had problems. Torpedo lights do not really turn up often in complete form. The parts were used on cycle wings and such as side markers and often have clear lenses. The rim is the most difficult part. At the moment lenses are tricky but only as the lens man was not at the show where the Club sources replacements from him. They will return in due course I think. You can find plastic lights to, some in plasticoated chrome. I assume these were after market cheapo jobs but better than nothing till real ones can be found.
