WTB - Rubber boot at back of front turn indicator

The indicators are complete and cleaned up ok otherwise I'd go to W&N - their price for the indicator lights is good.

None of the previous owners of this car were short of money (it was stored for twelve years before I bought it sixteen years ago) and they had it serviced and repaired "professionally".

I'm thinking about starting a thread about the bad things the mechanics and panel shops do - like just not bother to put back the waterproofing caps on the indicator lights - they would have been lying on the bench ready to go back, but it was too much trouble. This on a repair and repaint that cost almost half what I earned in a year back at the time.

ha, ha, ha, welcome to the real world, that is why i am my own mechanic, i have seen even more terrible things than that, like throwing away the back plate that presses the filter element in the oil filter canister, leaving the engine virtually filterless forever ! three engines have passed through my hands, none of them retain the back plate !
 
+1 when I first got my coupe and did an oil change I found the same thing. Then I replaced the thermostat as a precaution and found this:

someone had drilled 12 holes around the perimeter of my thermostat.

How may cars are missing the "witch's hat"? Reproduction opportunity?
 
Hi,

I've carried out a search and this is the only thing that came up, I'm looking for the same rubber boot for the front indicators and wonder if anybody can help.

Cheers,

John.

Would be interested in knowing if forum members have used any alternative parts as this one is NLA.

Thank you.

That topic has been discussed in more details on other thread. Please look in the forum as there are more proposals there.
 
Thanks. I did find some of the other threads—the were somewhat helpful.
