Having been meaning to get a head lamp protection . . . . it's happened . . . I've bust a lens . . . . ARRAH.

Unlikely but anyone got an H1 (clear top - i.e. not dippled) RHD lens they want to donate/sell?

I'd love you forever
 
Young Mr Moss had a couple very recently....................ur prob main reason i have nt changed mine , where to go for another?
 
I was very interested to read your plea for a replacement clear-top headlight lens, because I have the same problem with my car, which as you know has recently arrived in the UK from Zimbabwe. One of my lenses was broken by a flying stone many years ago, and the only replacements which I could get from the OPC in Johannesburg were the dippled type, which you mentioned. I never did fit them, but I brought them over with the car, but as I obviously cannot replace just one lens, I am going to be forced to have both of the dippled ones fitted. It sounds as if the clear-top type lens is no longer available?
If you do find a source of supply, please keep me in mind for one.
Many thanks - Arfor
 
Phil,

I got a loverly pair (ooer missus) from Julian at Karmann Konnection - might be worth calling him?

Arfor . . .

If you decide to replace your lenes for dippled ones (H4's) . . . you'll have one spare lens. Assuming it's a RHD . . . . my problem is solved (if you'll sell it to me and it's in good nick).

Problem you've got is . . . H1 units (the lamp etc) aren't 'suppose' to be run with H4 lenes (H1's can be identified by having four adjusting screws + the fixing screw at the bottom - H4's have 3 screws in total) . . . so you might have to buy complete H4 units and lenses.

Re-reading that, it would make more sense if we found a pair . . . you have one and I have the other (assuming RHD).

Phil, my car is RHD.
I won't put my head on a block, but I think the lamps have 4 adjusting screws.
Seems I must make a quick trip to Birkenhead to have a look-see, or quicker still, make a phone call!
I'll get back to you.

Phil, I've just spoken to Andrew Kirk in Birkenhead, and he confirms that my headlamps have 4 adjusting screws.
I would prefer not to fit the "dimpled" lenses which were brought over with the car, preferring to keep the car original, so if you are able to locate the correct lenses for our cars - great.

Arfour . . . . I've managed to find a single lens[:D] . . . . I would love to be able to pass this onto you . . . . but my needs are greater than yours in this instance. If I come across any more (another), I'll let you know. You let me know if you decide to sell you single lens[;)] and go for H4's.

Try Francis Tuthill's workshop. 01295 750 514
I have fitted H1s to my car and have put in an extra relay so that when I go to main beam, all four bulbs light up. Much better than the H4s!
 
The search for a replacement headlight lens for my 911 continues. Have tried Francis Tuthill without success.
The number on the Bosch lens is 1305614012

All suggestions will be appreciated

What sort of price do you want for them, what's the condition, any photos . . . . . their desirability (and value) has a lot to do with whether the lens and units are RHD.

Tuthill supplied me with clear plastic track day covers. I run the car with them attached at all times and only take them off if I'm on a rally section in the dark.
