Dont think you will get the lense on its own. Complete unit only. I have a few. Is yours broken or just peeling.

If it is peeling then do a search on here for peeling headlight and you will find a way to fix the problem.

Unfortunatley it seems to be scratched beyond sanding repair, its all clouldy from the scratches but maybe I could sand it for longer with finer paper. Probably need an electric yoke.

Can ya send me a PM with a price for one if you have it available? May not give up on this one but just in case...

Thanks for the info tho 8)

God bless BRASSO!

Results were immeadiate so after a good scrubbing. Finished with T-Cut and its looking grand.

I tried 2 other compounds on it but the brasso just seemed to cut through the haze.

Thanks for the offer though Rory, always nice to know we have parts on tap!

Y'know brasso, for cleaning brass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brasso

Works very well on plastic too. Apparently the Silvo stuff will give even better results...
