Ah the trip to Gayton. What a superb day out that was apart from your overheating problem. What a shame more S Types did not show up for it. We will have to do that trip again once the dreaded Covid has abated.

It seemed such a simple pleasure that we took for granted at the time.

Count me in!

Sam to make a link in the future you just have to cut and paste the hyper link at the top of the page into your reply. Our web site works out it is a hyper link so when we click on the link it takes us to the page you were looking at.
For instance this is a link to my website in the UK for wedding cars. https://torbayweddingcarclub.co.uk/

Sorry, I have tried to make a link but failed, tried to load some photos but they are to big, so just bid on it and won for £67 hope its good supposed to be as new.

Thanks Nigel, good call. As I found a pair of NOS complete assemblies, I have a new pair of matching lenses in case I'm unlucky with a stone or whatever.

Yes clear lenses which were for the US market and some european countries. I have a couple of clear lenses in my box of many things.

If you can't get matching coloured front indicator lenses then the alternative is what I did, fit clear export lenses with coloured bulbs either filament or LED. These were sourced from XK's Unlimited - now Moss in the USA, cost about $30 each.[attachment=0]2021-04-08_07-31-07.jpg[/attachment]

As I said Glyn I have many indicator lenses both left and right, all secondhand but no spare housings. I have put away a pair which are the best I have but might sell the others but I will have to put the price up if they are not made anymore. lol.

I note the L690 lenses are no longer manufactured according to Barratts. They had plenty of trouble getting the left & right lenses the same colour as one another. Mr Barratt personally found me a set of NOS units that were the same colour.

Barratts had to return their entire stock in 2013 when I pointed this out.

Only last year new lenses & full assemblies were available. I can see used prices creep up now unless someone males another batch of them.

Can you put a link to that advert on here Sam. Just cut and paste the Hyper link in to your text and we can have a look. Drivers side is a bad description as it could be left hand drive and therefore a European or US indicator. you really need to see the inside of the lens to look at the RH or LH marking. The "L690" and "England" on the front of the lens should be at the bottom and the right way up to be readable when looking at it normally on both sides.

I found this one on EBay which is for the LH as you can see the LH in the back of the reflector. Looks a bit moth eaten but the studs always rot out and you can replace them with nut and bolts.

There is also this pair of indicators but the price is eye watering at over £300 but cheaper than new and they look in very good condition.

I have lots of spare rear light clusters and some front indicator lenses but I do not have a spare front indicator housings as these do tend to rot out due to where they are positioned in the front wing unprotected against the detritus coming up off the front wheel.

Well, after reading again your brilliant description of the front indicators and lenses being sided I have answered my question. So many thanks again.
