Broken passenger side front signal light lens.

[Pinstripe inc.]

Sadly, I broke the lens; the first damage, ever, on my original ‘73 3.0cs. I have an old one saved from my bare metal restoration in the’90s, but would like to find a new replacement. I now live in Vancouver Canada . Help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, John

John, it looks like a Euro lens and not a US lens but let us know which one you seek.

Car was imported to Montreal,Canada, sold to me in Ottawa. Therefore I assume North America US.

If you take a pic of the now bare insides (the reflector), we can tell what you need/fits.

both old and new one that I broke; Sidler W 872. And the irony is that while I went to my garage for the pic, I got confirmation of our flight to Amsterdam in August. We're going in August to family reunion.

Here's a pic from our site (thanks @Gransin !) that shows the taller US next to a slimmer EU version.

I always count the lines on the side, and see 7 lines on the EU version, and 9 on the taller US version.

Your pic with the one with a crack shows 9 lines, so I think you have US spec lenses.

Reflector comparison is this one:
Tall one again is US, note it has the step in the side of the mirror.
