thanks Karl,

its not urgent, mine is cracked and where adhesive was tried in the past it has blackened the top 'lip'.

i have been considering adapting and using an LED light, advantage being very bright and no drain on the main battery, or a front light from an enduro M/C as that would be more robust plus i can blind people when i feel evil ;D

either way if i have no luck (ebay etc.) perhaps he will be attending the Brooklands C5-25 meet next month, i know when he shows he often brings spares, so i can perhaps grab one while their and get to meet Adam himself (if i'm worthy  :D. )

To be honest Allen, that front light is only good to let other road users know your there, it don't light up the road no matter what bulb you put in there.

thanks UMPA,

ben thinking i might fit some sort of LED array behind the lens, then as i've seen on others some small LED spots i the front wheel well shining on the road.

lots of options available, i just want to retain some of the original 'look' if you know what i mean
