Hello Eric, Good point! Lots of repros I've seen are very different to the originals; OK on casual inspection but........ Watch out for the radius of the section of the chrome bezel! (If you know what I mean!) It's the same problem -but different - with the ignition switch and the small gauges. I suspect that Joe Lucas and Smiths sub-let the supply to various companies who pressed what they thought was the best looking radius. They should all match the dashboard centre panel edge, of course! I think that there's a graduate thesis here somewhere!

Eric Charles McLennan, here in Melbourne, makes reproduction fuel indicator lamps. They look original when mounted on the dash but have a solid brass body instead of the thin sheet tube on the original. The globe holder is a modern one. The lense lettering is a very good reproduction of the original. These have the word "fuel", not the earlier "pet". I don't have his e-mail address with me but can provide contact details if you're interested. Mark Jablonski Melbourne Australia
