Lights on Lambourne Cab - what a stupid design !

Post by AlexB »

As the H&SE back in 2002 (ish) decided that ALL tractors need to have safety bars if working - whether it is your own farm or not - I need to replace the wings with the Lambourne which cam with the tractor.
However, the lights were removed from the cab wings.

I have taken the lens off to get access to the corroded and broken off stud only to realise that the studs are inaccessible and the rubber "gasket" at the bottom og the lamp is moulded and extrudes into the lamp workings so I think I am having to purchase new rear lamps

What numpty designed them I wonder ?

I may have to take some of that vitriol back

Further investigation reveals that the stud can be pushed into the lamp body and is some sort of coach bolt - ie has a square section under the head, so all is not yet lost


Any ideas where I can purchase such a thing please?

Many thanks
