Indicator lens help...

Postby doin donuts » Tue Sep 11, 2012 7:02 pm

Hey all,Iv got a set of clear indicator lenses from a lotus esprit fitted to my ae85, one of them has been broken and I don't wanna/cant afford to pay the £250 (yes pounds not dollars) for a new set, what I wanna know is if there's a way of plastic welding a similar piece in the missing pieces place? Ideas?

Pics to come soon
Thanks all
Doug

Which indicator is it?

Could it be easier to just fit a more common type of indicator of another car?
(Guess that can only apply if it's a repeater on the guard)

How does an ae85 have Lotus indicators? Pics?

Right rear, I got them already done and couldn't figure where the clear lenses came from till someone told me then I hunted and found this site.....

No other lenses will fit as far as I can see??
