    SWB Front Turn Signals (faded)

    This pair of front turn signals came with my '68, but I've found a better set. As the photos show, the lenses are faded, but the housings are in nice shape and the sockets are solid. As with any 40-year old rubber, the gray seals need to be replaced.

    Is $40 each or $70 for the pair (plus shipping & paypal) a fair price?

    Thanks for looking.

    I think the chrome is okay

    Don,

    i wish i knew how to photograph chrome close up. the 4 photos attached are the best of about 20. sorry for my incompetence.

    personally, i'd say that the chrome is nice. it is certainly not perfect, but it is not flaking or deeply scratched. there was some dirt or grease in the seams, but it came out with detergent and a toothbrush.

    i'll send these supplemental photos and then talk to a photographer friend tomorrow to see if there is some trick to doing high-res chrome close-ups.

    no matter what, thanks for looking.

    If Don passes, give me a shout. I've got a 68 with no front turn signals. I think I could restore those to acceptable condition.
