The interior / headlining lamp, you can get a Lucas NOS.
The black grill, is it to be placed in front of front windscreen? I had to replace all 3 on my 411. Got them from Bristol Ltd Very expensive for what they are, simple spotwelded construction dipped in plastic. Zero rustproofing. |

But if you compare Bristol parts prices with say genuine Mercedes parts, Bristol seems very reasonable. Maybe we should just be thanklful that some of the parts are available in the first place Does anyone know where you can get the black countersunk screws which are used to secure various bit of trim? |

Let us just say the quality of some components is British...
The Orange lens, it is Lucas, and there should be a number on it. Welcro with self adhesive backing should do. For the other parts, they are from the UK car production from the years just before your car was made. Ford etc |

I've used this firm with success in the past. AHC, Tools Fixtures Fittings, UK Europe If they don't have any more black'uns then paint chrome ones with matt black acrylic paint and, when air-dry after an hour, put in a fan-assisted oven @ 100 degrees for one hour. (Seriously! -it hardens the paint nicely.) Paint available here: Citadel - The Army Painter - Spray Paints - Total Wargamer Suggest you also match the screws with inverted ( pressed ) washers too as the screws should not go directly into the wood. Do not be fobbed off with cup-washers which are incorrect and ugly. Try: Woolies Trim Good luck |
