    Replacement lenses?

    I have the original Bosch lenses on my '67 S and they're somewhat dulled with age. I stumbled on these repro replace lenses-only at Stoddard and assume they would fit my car.

    However, after looking at my original Boschs, the lens enclosure appears to be completely sealed e.g. there's no way to pry out the old lenses and replace them with these repros? Am I just being retarded and missing something or are these repros a crock?

    Any advice would be much appreciated,
    Al

    Al - originally the lenses were not available separately but replacement repro lenses have been around for several years now.

    Check out this previous thread for details on the process of fitting them:

    Just make sure that the new lenses come c/w the replacement hollow brass rivets.

    Hmm... Thanks for the info Andy however Stoddard makes no mention of hollow brass rivets.
