Those are pieces of the attaches that I made for mounting the buggy bar... they weren't cut to length when I took the pic. They're cut now and invisible...

My suggestion to figure out where to install your Lucas 488s, is to take a photo, or Xerox of a Lucas lens with ring and seal, cut it out around the edge, and use that as a paste up against your fender/wing. Tape it on, stand back, and move it around until you have it right....

I had originally stuck the lens to the wing in various positions with blue tack.......  Eventually settled on position in pic - 40mm in from wing beading & top edge of indicator lines up with bottom of headlamp mounting. As said elsewhere in this thread, its down to personal taste. Now to weld my wings up

Hi Brian,
They look spot on. Can you tell me if your wings are genuine US Spec 67 wings or the later 68 on. I am looking to replace my wings and will be using lucas 488's but have been told the 67 wings are different to the later ones in shape, thus this will effect the position of the indicators. Thanks

Yes, that is true. The headlights can be located slightly higher and wider than an OEM German '67 Fender/wing, so beware.

Straight time, My fenders are actually fiberglass. They are from US spec 67 molds so the geometry is fairly close. I compared the fenders measurements to the originals and they were almost spot on. I did have to fabricate the headlamp buckets and brackets to get the headlamps where they were supposed to be but other than that it went smoothly.
