    FS: Refurbished Original SWB U.S. Rear Turn Signals

    ** SOLD **

    I restore a fairly large number of SWB turn signals. As part of the process I obtain a large number of cores. Occasionally one shows up with a lens in outstanding condition with a housing in poor condition, as well as the other way around. The usual way to remove an original lenses is to simply snip off the tabs and break it apart. I can't stand to do that with lenses in great condition so I started experimenting with ways to remove them without damaging them. While not 100% I'm getting better at it and here is a pair of refurbished turn signals as a result.

    I polished the lenses and chrome trim and they're in outstanding condition. The housings still have the original mirrored finish on the interior reflectors. I've bead blasted the original bulb housings and added new screws, new bulbs and new correct gray gaskets.

    I rate these at 2+ or maybe 1-. I wouldn't hesitate to put them on a concours car if I still had one.

    Price: $1,100.00 plus shipping.

    Thanks,
    John
