Hi Larry
Rear turn lamps on my Mk 2 are L691 ( amber / orange glass lenses )if I
remember correctly . It's the same style and diameter as the front park
light lenses ( clear glass lenses ) . It's also the same as the ones on the
Mk 1's .
AFAIK the Mk 2 used only one rectangular LUCAS backup ( reverse ) light . It
was available as an optional extra on the Spitfire 4 ( aka Mk 1 ) and Mk 2 .
There is a nice picture of it on page 23 of the Spitfire guide to
originality by John Thomason ( picture 1.84 ) .
I obtained one of these lights for FC 25680 a long time ago . Still needs to
be fitted though .
Give me a shout if more info are needed .
Kind Regards

Subject: MK2 tail lights and seat belts
There appear to have been two styles of rear turn lamps used on the MK2.
One is the larger 3 inch Lucas lens (L691, same as the front turn lamp)
and the other the smaller 2 5/8 inch Lucas (L760). The Rimmer catalogue
lists only the smaller one. I am wondering what is out there on the cars
that are around. I am leaning to the larger one, although I only have
one. The Rimmer catalogue also indicates that backup lights were an
option. Has anyone seen these on a MK2?
Due to rust, I have had to replace my MK2 tub with a MK3 tub and was
wondering if someone can let me know how the inside seat belt strap is
held down. The MK3 tub has a hole over the frame, however the MK2 frame
does not have any holes in it at this location to accept the hold down
bolt.
Thanks in advance for any info.
