Stone guards

I am looking for info on a place to buy the lens cover that can fit behind the stone guards shown in the attached photo. The photo is, as most of you know Paul Harford's car. This is the only one I have found with a lens cover. All the others with the straight bars have nothing behind the stone guards which would make it very difficult to clean the seal beam light. Any help would be greatly appreciated.......Mike

Michael,
The wire mesh stone guards are the only ones that fit over the headlight lens.
The bar type stone guards are designed fit in place of the lens. So they don't fit over them.
The bar type stone guards are available at midamerica motorworks

Once in a while you can find them on E-bay.

You can leave the lens on by cliping the top tab of the guard under the chrome bezel and using a spacer at the bottom to let it clear the lens.
Here's a couple of photos.

JPS can install the vertical bar style guards AND keep the glass lens in place. He did it on my '01 JPS. I remember him saying it was possible "if you knew how to do it".

Michael,
There you go. Next time you're in the Valley, stop by JPS and ask John. He must cut some of the lip off so the frame of the grill sits on or close to the glass.
If you find out exactly how it's done, let us know. I'd like to do that on my current Speedster.

Thanks Greg and David for your input. At least I know it can be done. I think it's a must to have a lens behind the stone guard. Mike

It does look better IMO, and you could just have the lip ground off so that only a little of it goes behind the chrome bezel. Is that not Paul's car in the picture?

Steve......I talked with SAS Steve and he is game to give it a try. Here is a picture of the new fog lights. The photo of the stone guard is in fact Paul's car..... Update...... my car will be wired this weekend!

Yea, I fell in love with those when I saw them on Jim's car. They are so perfect with that style headlight guard

Welcome to the revolution, Michael!

Greg & David. I believe JPS uses the same spacer set up as seen in Greg's pics. He may have changed the install in the past two years, but I do know that's how John was doing them in 03-04. I installled vertical grilles on my VS using plastic spacers... it was ok looking from the right angles, and not so much from others.

Michael, congrats on finding the lights. I'm sure they will look great on your new Cabrio. There was a light green cabrio at Knotts with a set of amber fogs with a cool deco style that really attracted attention at SLO last Spring. There may be pics of it at one of the 356 sites.
