[Healeys] Lucas Reflectors

[Bob Spidell]

#3 looks very similar to the ones I acquired for my BN2. I got them from 
a former jet engine engineer for Pratt & Whitney who made a small batch 
as a retirement project, who claimed to have researched them thoroughly. 
He constructed them from spun brass with 'proper' chrome plating 
(copper->nickel->chrome). I have no idea where he acquired the lenses, 
but IIRC--and the Moss catalog shows--they were attached to the plinths 
with 10-32 screws. The rubber pads I got from David Nock at BCS who had 
a batch made since the "usual suspects'" offerings were not up-to-snuff.
