back up lens for original Hella back up light on 1965c
My original Hella back up lens is cracked on my 1965 c. I have searched both Stoddard and Pelican. With all our advertisers, and the wealth of information that seems to be at the fingertips of various members, any suggestions for a supplier? I don't want to replace the entire unit, just the lens. Thanks in advance.

Try a search on eBay or The Samba.

Aase sells just the lense but not a whole lot cheaper than the whole assembly. Personally I would call Stoddards and see if they sell the lense separately since Aase and PRS in England sell it separately under part # 644.631.641.05 Not all the parts Stoddard has are on the website I think.

This is the same for PRS - The Uploading to the Site is continuous with a dedicated guy working on it everyday - but many items have still not made itNot all the parts Stoddard has are on the website
An email to Clare on - caz356@btconnect.com - will get you an answer for anything that you cannot find
Thank you to all those that have found us in the past

Re: back up lens for original Hella back up light on 1965c
I'm wondering if the backup lights used on some VW's use the same lens. e.g. type 3 backup lights are about the same size.
