front fender top running/turn signal lights

[ptegler]

so has anyone ever found a source for orig or repo fender top running lights like the old 7 S2's use to run?
EG:  something like these  ...   (top left in pic)

I've been looking at motorcycle turn signals but have not found anything I like.   Many could be mounted using the single bolt through the top of the clamshell fender of my Rotus as the wires path through the center of the bolt. The idea is to not add holes, and just let the light mount bold be the fender mount bolt.   But something closer down to the top of the fewnder would be more desirable.

Any idea?  flames? comments? all are welcome.

Here are a few places to try. They pop up on ebay every once-in-a-while too.

Do a search for a Lucas 516.  Moss Motors may have them in their Morris Minor section.

Lotus also used the torpedo style Lucas L516 (mentioned above by toldfield).  If you're patient, you can find them on eBay, but you'll always find them on eBayUK - there are several pair listed there now.  Try searching both Lucas 516 and L516.  Also listed are reproduction rubber plinths (the rubber base) which you'll probably need.  Original plinths by now have typically become rock hard and deeply cracked.  The L516 originally came with a glass lens, though reproductions now are plastic, so you may want to clarify lens material and if the plinths are reproductions before clicking the buy-it-now.

thanks folks. Yes I found the 516 was the orig style on the Lotus S2 and new rubber blocks ARE avail.

My  hunt/desire is running/turn indicator, which I also see mods avail for either two bulbs, and even a single dual filament version
