SWB Tail-light lens source?

[John912]

Does anyone have a recommendation for where to get best quality replacement tail-light lens for SWB (the kind you melt in)? Are all replacement lens from the same supplier?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Currently all from one supplier.

I'd give these reproductions an 8/10. 1 point off because a fair amount of grinding and silicon sealing needs to be done to make them fit, and another point off because the exterior orange color comes off when you grind it down. I had to find an orange sharpie to restore the color before I melted/glued it in.

One nice thing is that they come with new screws and brass ferrules. It's a fun project.

Thanks all. I went through similar fitting issues a few years back and was hoping for an alternative. Guess not.

I've always felt that the orange was way too bright and a dead giveaway that these are repros.

Cheers,
Mike
