aftermarket tail lights
« on: February 24, 2017, 09:47:49 PM »
Does anyone have a tail light lens from United Marine Mfg., St. Louis, back in the 1950's? I have both housings and only one lens. My lens is cracked but it is complete. Maybe I will have to use a plastic molding kit to make another one.

I have a set of tail lights with two housings and four lenses. Will not separate...asking $175 for all.

The housing in your photo is just slightly different in that the ridge on the horizontal side extends from front to back and the ridge on mine only extends 1.5" from the back. Regardless, if the four lenses are good, I'll pay your full price if you pay for shipping. I am in Port Townsend, Washington 98368.

I don't know where the ad originated. I found it on the internet.
