Lucas WL13
Internet searches have come up with Zero so i thought i would ask here if anyone has any photos of a Lucas Wl13 dash warning light fitted to late 427's and 289 sports...
Thanks again |

Lucas, not Ford units, are found on ebay
They are around, just be diligent. The Ford version requires finding the unit then getting the bezel. Lucas units I have purchased cost about $30 The Ford unit will in the end be closer to $75-$100 after shipping, locating etc... |
Isn't there one or part of one anyway, on eBay right now?
On my phone, I can't seem to copy/paste a link. Larry |

I have a spare
Would need to dig it out. |
If you're quick...

I did see this item listed as a WL13, To me it looked like a Lucas WL3?? I have now found an image of the WL13 http://campkahler.com/files/Lucas-400e-to-M8-ocr.pdf and looks nothing like the post above but almost identical to the WL12 :JEKYLHYDE**) |
Yes, you're right, I was mis-remembering my part numbers and got it wrong because the item is incorrectly described. WL13 is the smaller direction indicator you need two of, as in the Lucas catalogue.
WL12 looks exactly the same in the dash, but has the bulkier cast aluminium casing instead of the push-in bulbholder style of the WL13 which replaced it. WL12s are readily available as they are Rover P4. WL13s do crop up but it helps to know what other model they were fitted to, and I can't remember offhand. Probably an awful lot of other cars, as is usual with the British motor industry of the sixties. |
I have managed to find a nice pair of WL12's.. put them in my ultrasonic cleaner and have come up good as... :)
Still on the hunt for a clean WL13... |
OK, gonna show myself up, but what is the difference between a NOS original item and a reproduction, apart from age?
|
NOS is New Old Stock, made in period by the original manufacturer. Repro is exactly that - a reproduction item, manufacturer unknown and often (maybe that's usually) of inferior quality. Some repro items may be made by the original manufacturer, but then they're not really repros...
|
Sorry, badly worded question...
What I meant to write here was... 'what is the particular difference, other than age, between the NOS item and the reproduction item shown here?' - I've noticed there are usually a few subtle differences between original items and reproductions, like bezel profile where the replicator has saved a few cents on the tooling. Wondered what the difference was here... it didnt seem obvious from the pics. |
