I'm pretty sure that the clear lens for the license plate is not available
commercially unless you find a unit that has it in it or run across it on
auction sites. I have several sets of the tail light assemblies and a spare or
two of the red lens but only one clear lens. I was thinking about casting a
couple of spares in plastic. The gasket I was expecting to have to cut from
cork that can be purchased from hobby shops.
