Reproduction Spitfire tail light Lens (pg1 light)

We have now reproduced this super rare part. It is exactly the same as the original dimensionally.

Above left is the cutting tool I had made fitted to the original to prove the thread is correct. The Picture to the right shows the light diffusing effect of our reproduction.

The lens is frosted as apposed to the clear original but light will still shine through and it has the effect of diffusing the light so most likely will be more visible than original. Its made of a very tough plastic and will not crack or break easily.
