Model 8 Tail lamp

Post by Zyrl »

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to get my little lightweight fit for the next season, which is not the easiest task here in austria...

The previous owner has modified the tail lamp (Wipac S142) to accomodate a double filament bulb. Would be ok for me, but the bulb is now too large and the lens is slowly melting away...

Can you help me out with a picture of the original three-bulb setup?

Thank you.

cheers,
stefan

Hi Stefan and welcome. I changed my original 3 bulb because the bulbs are now almost impossible to get. If you go to the web site below you will find a replica with the offset pin stop/tail bulb which is the correct shape. I bought one last year because I have changed to 12 volt system.
I hope this helps.

That's what I looked for when I bought my new one Ken, but Paul didn't do the LED back plate of that shape lamp, I'll have to check to see if he does them now.
