WTB: two repro red reflectors....WWII style

Post by DDTrustee » Wed Jan 27, 2016 8:04 am

Who sells repros of the red reflectors on WWII vehicles – I need two
If you have them, I’ll buy them from you. PayPal work?

This should be under the "Wanted" section, but basically every Jeep parts supplier sells them.

Hi Mike,

I believe Dan is looking for the single line WW2 type reflectors. Looking at Ron's parts section he is carrying the three line or 6 pie piece ones.

I have been told that they have been made fairly recently but I doubt Ron wants them discussed here if they are coming from another supplier. They may be available as complete assemblies only.

If you are installing round Corcoran Brown reflectors, you need Grotelite 100 Red lenses.

Unless I'm mistaken when I talked to Ron @ 2 months ago he said he was now stocking the correct reflectors. Might give Ron a call.

Out of curiosity, I ran across these at work. Made by Grote.

What is the opinion on using these are replacements?

Thanks.

Not 40's issue Corcoran Brown. Reflectors are current D.O.T Spec and not Grotelite 100.
