I have what I believe was a pretty typical rear light set-up for Roadsters - a combination light with a rubber mount and a 'racetrack shaped' red/yellow lens which just 'clipped' into the rubber mount. Does anyone know the make and, more particularly, where I can get a replacement lens? My local supplier has something which looks similar (but isn't identical) but I'm hoping to be able to replace the lens only, without having to replace the rear light. I don't mind buying the whole fitting if necessary, just to get the lens. All help appreciated.

Re: Rear Light Lens
Definitely Rubbolite!
not many other options, but Volvo P1800 (The Saint) is the upmarket version.MOC member since 05/97
1984 Marlin Roadster SWB.
1800TC, Unleaded ported head, stage 2 cam. Ford Type 9 gearbox, Dolomite Sprint rear axle fitted with MGF disc brakes.
Three core radiator, Renault Clio vented front discs.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.

Re: Rear Light Lens
Thanks guys, the existing is definitely a Rubbolite M88, but … the replacement lenses all seem to include a clear 'number plate window', whereas my existing one doesn't have this, nor do I need it. And, as Jon Wilkinson says, the cost!! I may consider replacing both sides with a Britax 9020 although that has a number plate window as well.

But you could always put black tape over the number plate window, or even paint!MOC member since 05/97

LED number plate lights as well.
These are also the bolts that hold the number plate on,.

Re: Rear Light Lens
I think these are the ones you are after. The rubbers were long past it but I kept the lenses.
