I managed to drop and shatter one of my front glass turn lenses...anybody have one to sell or know of a substitute for the CMC housing?
thanks

I think that I do. Let me check this weekend and they are yours if you want.

If James doesn't find one, then what you have on there is a Signal Stat 440 Truck Marker Light. There are two versions available:
One is a Signal Stat 440 and the other is a Yankee 975 (Both also say SAE DP-63). Both have identical bases to match the radius of the horn grills and both have similar lenses, although one is flat-topped (440) and the other slightly conical (975).
Do a Google search for those two numbers and see what pops up but bear in mind that both of those (and the CMC) are getting old and it may be hard to find a replacement lens (I would buy two if you can find them). The lens you want is not a "snap-in" - you want a bezel-mount lens with a collar at the base that the metal trim ring fits over.
Alternatively, that base you have will fit an original Porsche replacement lens for a 356A. There is a shorter and taller version, both different from what you have, but at $30 for a pair you can afford to go that route:

Stoddards and others probably have them, too. Google "porsche 356A parts" for a list of suppliers.
It may be time to get away from the ugly CMC amber truck signals and replace with some nice clear ones. I switched my amber for the clear and thought the look is much nicer.
What type of head lights do you have Drumagination?

You can find those on ebay, 7" led's. I think I am going with the chrome version ...
Hi James
That would be very nice of you! Let me know...

I see what you mean...the clear are very classy on your beautiful car. Where did you get those lenses, and do they fit the CMC base? I'm not sure my tall LED lights will fit.
And thanks Gordon for the info!
My car is coming together (if I can stop breaking things along the way).
Mine where the exact same as yours and I bought clear lenses from Carey at Special Edition. They are the same clear ones that they put on their Beck Speedsters. The lenses fit into my CMC/FF grills. I love your car!
