Hi Matty,
finally got to meet you - thanks for making it down for the day..................
I was asking around a lot to find you - Stewart finally did the deed.............
Time was so short - I was on the field for over six hours and didn't even get one pic - little social butterfly, me..................

My voting was all over in a rush............... just started to fill in the boxes and down came the H2o........... think my form went in like a sheet of paper-mache.............

One weekend is just not enough - coming to Bendigo - '09?

Got to spend more time standing upright and not bent over my engine bay.........................

frats,
Rosco

ps - hope you are keeping all these pix............. when your cruisin' around in ya dream - I would suggest taking a trip back over these to see where you've come from.........................

I do very much hope Joe's wife makes a full recovery and endures the chemo without too much distress.................nasty stuff, that....we have a daughter in law who has been down that very bumpy road............

I don't mind the all clear ones, you would have to use colored bulbs in them to be road worthy, I think :? , Trev 8) .

Yep combo 2 does it for me.
If you use the last combo I think you would loose the effect because of the light colour of the car,it would blend in if you know what I mean.
Red stop and tail light globes, I have never seen, but Im sure there out there somewhere.

Option 3 or 4 looks good, something different. I have not seen one yet, but if you could get a indicator lens made up that eliminates the reverse light could look alright. ie you would only have the two lenses, a longer indicator lens and the brake lense.

Matty before you get to exited on clear lenses, The Amber globes have offset retaining lugs and are slightly larger in diameter, only slight..so they wont go into your sockets, the reason for this is to prevent them being fitted into non blinker applications. The Stop tails are available, but only in single filament, so you will have to adapt a red parker indicator.
But then again everything was made to be modified....... :wink:

Unless there are others that will fit that I'm not aware of.
