Spot Lights

[Julian]

Does anybody the following info :<br>
<br>
The make and model of the Spot lights fitted to the TR7's in the late 70's ? They were chrome bezels, black backed and had a boss on the rear side ? These were not the LUCAS Flame throwers.<br>
<br>
Has anybody got a works lamp bracket or a technical diagram of the lamp bracket they can send me to copy ?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Julian.

Hi Julian, <br>
<br>
You do ask some tricky questions. I don't know the answer to your question but have had a quick search on google and it has thrown up the following:<br>

Dear Scott,<br>
<br>
Yeah I have drawn a blank on these lights. Hella do something similar ( £130 each !!!) but they are not THEM, PIAA,CIBIE and KC are all no shows. <br>
<br>
Have some good pics via the BMHT and have worked out the lamp bracket externals but not what happens once it passes through the grill !!<br>
<br>
Anyway still no car. That's the biggest bummer ! Nothing to scale the paint scheme off - if you have not got one in the garage to measue stuff off against the picture, your stuffed.<br>
<br>

<br>
Went to look at a car last weekend and had a wasted trip despite the car LOOKING good ! Slowly running out of ideas now. Just got to wait and try and get there first. Off to the Manx this year for a look round, was hoping to take "IT" there next year.<br>
<br>
Oh well..Maybe....<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Julian.

Well I wish you the best of luck. There are a couple of nice examples on ebay at the moment but all in the wrong colours. Its only a matter of time before one comes up that is spot on. If you had the budget, the ex Gerry Marshall car is in the right colour!<br>
<br>
If you spot any down this way or either in London where I work, I'll gladly take a look at them for you and take some detailed pictures to send up to you. <br>
<br>
Try and talk your Dad into doing something for the Dolly Mixture magazine regarding his Laycock work and developing the J type. It would make interesting reading for many.<br>
<br>
As for the scaling off, I wouldn't know where to start. I bet each car was different anyway and probably marked up and sprayed to an artists sketch.<br>
<br>
