[JAGNUTS] Latest up date: XJ12 VDP Trials and tribs

[Ken Exner]

Sorry Bob... I need the headlamp lens not the amber marker. The one that is
on there has a crack in it and won't pass.  Going to check out Ed's
suggestion. Thanks for checking though and the offer of the amber lens.

Yup ... I've got one if it is the amber lense on the side of the
fender (wing) ... It needs a bit of a cleanup, but its yours if you
need it ... Bob England
