Forum suggestion was to start a new topic on this subject matter since the last was over four months old.
’51 Frazer fans – we (KFOCI life members and owners of four ’51 Frazers) have had the 1951 Frazer taillight lenses reproduced in a limited quantity. This is the basic red lens and does not include the internal clear Fresnel lens (or the bezel).
The reproduction turned out very well using as excellent a sample as we could find to make the mold. One tiny flaw is that one of the screw attachments on the sample had a small chip, so the surface is not flat but there is enough material to contain the third screw.
The lenses have been drilled to match the original #6 screw (3 attachment holes). Unlike the more rigid plastic of the original lens, this lens exhibits some flexibility to it but we have already verified mounting of the lens on the chrome bezels. The color should remain stable as the lens was reproduced with the same materials used for the reproduction of plastic taillight lenses for other cars. The reproduced lens exhibits fit, form, and function to the original and the appearance is the same.
If anyone is interested we are asking $150 for each lens + S&H to cover careful packaging and adequate insurance. We initially have ten of these lenses available for purchase, but if demand is there, we can have more reproduced.
Jpegs of the lens (outside, inside, and mounted to a bezel) are available via email to:
