Red Lights

I pulled the rear flasher and tail lamp covers out of a box of parts this evening in my quest to clean and evaluate something other than boring nuts and bolts.

Here we have the two rear flasher (glass) lenses and one of the two tail lamp (plastic) lenses--the other lens is broken. The complete tail lens here is in good shape, though it has surface scratches, and since I need to replace the other one, I will get two new ones to match; and probably the entire assemblies for each since the price is good. Unless, of course, the assemblies I have are restorable. We'll see.

The glass "Lucas, Made in England" flasher lenses are in decent shape.

However, there is a small chip on the cup side (for lack of a better description) of one, as shown below.

And on the other there is a chip on the "bullet tip" as shown here:

I have no clue whether these are originals or not, or how good the quality is of the new replacements available in the market, so this will be one of those things I may or may not restore. I have the assemblies as well, but I need to take a look at their condition before deciding on what to do. The replacements are not expensive, so I'm not too concerned.
