Hi all first post - just bought Libra from StewB

Does anybody know where you can get front sidelights/ indicators from
New would be good as rusty

Pete

If it is the early front end with the four seperate indicators and sidelights that areround and 74mm in diameter then they are from old land rovers and defenders, bolt on bits also do led units at £15 each if you wanted to go down this route.

Thanks for information and the welcome to GTM ownership
It is the ones around 70mm
I will look on Landrover sites
Beware - I will be asking more stupid questions

Pete

Sorry just saw and clicked the link

I don't expect LED with orange bulb is around for the indicators?

You can get clear orange or orange orange versions.

Search WIPAC 73mm on ebay

I used a variable flasher relay.

Pete,

If you go for LED conversion the flasher module would need changing too. The flashing rate is determined by the current drawn by the lamps.

The indicators are also used on the later original minis, so they should be easy to get from somewhere like mini spares.

Thanks all

Really good to join a helpful group

My plans are to get the original car working well then fit the engine and box from Mondeo st220
I have the donor - low miles and drives well
Next step for the transplant will be to offer up the engine / gearbox and make sure it will fit
V6 - just for the noise??

Pete

Hi Pete,

Not sure how big the ford V6 is compared to the KV6

But the K6 tub and boot are different on the V6 Libra.

Cheers.

Hi

I have the pictures of the change to the v6 tub.
GRP is my thing so I will be able to alter the tub and retain the strength
Duratec is narrower v angle so could need less inset

Pete

i have the led lights from Boltonbits in Bradford, straight swap and damn sight better looking and brighter,
yes you will need the rely too, but that just swops over too

Mitch

You can get the standard landrover lights if you do not want to go led they are super cheap but do not have any reflective housing behind the bulb, think this is why people have changed them to led to get a better light output.
Matty

Thanks all
Ordered LED front lights and relay from Bolt on Bits
Much better than squiggling bulbs to get them to work for 10 minutes

Pete

LED units are more weatherproof than the normal bulb type too.
