They used to use mini ones, either sealed beams or the ones with seperate bulbs.

Have you got perspex covers?

cheers

By the look of your bodywork (nice by the way) I would say have a look at Jaguar or Porsche. Neither of which are going to be cheap.
It's hard to see from your pic but if the lights recesses are round - try pre '67 beetle?

I am standing by to be shot down if flames.
Que torrent of abuse

Is that the GTS bodywork? if so could you get more photos of it? side on and arse end especially

will do i am picking it up 2morrow

cheers

You can use the bog standard 5 1/2" or 7" lights you get from motor factors.
Measure the flat area to see which will fit best.

What might be a problem is the housing making contact with the tyre when cornering. These often need spacing forward a bit for clearance.

I'm sure Chris is right - standard 7 inch lamp units from a mini etc.

Thanks Andy, thought I was going mad!

The Westfield 11 certainly used mini lamps.

They also had perspex covers, as an option.

Cheers

7" lamps were fitted as standard - if you are need ing to see where you are going - fit H4 halogen, not sealed beam.
The original cars had the Lucas 2 adjuster metal backed "Nests" that the lenses fit into. These are still available. Most builders now use the plastic nests - less expensive, lower weight - doesn't rust!
Lotus used Lucas lights - these are still on the market, but be quick, they are out of production. Otherwise us Wipac lenses.
