Rear Shroud Reverse Cover

[johnwp5bcoupe]

Hi I need one what is the look and fit like of the ones JRW sells

[dorsetflyer]

I cannot swear by this but it has been covered before, and I think the conclusion was that it's not as good a fit as the original part.
No doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Searched both boards John can't find any info

[dorsetflyer]

Unfortunately it could be that the wrong word is used for 'Search', if you don't get it right it won't find anything.
If I get any spare time I'll try and see if I can find it.

Number plate/reversing light surround
« Thread Started on 18 Jun, 2007, 16:51 »

Dear all,
Has anyone got a spare number plate light/reversing light "chrome" surround?
I say chrome because they are nasty mazak,and mine has gone all dimply...so I guess everyone elses has too?
But if by chance there should be a decent spare out there please bear me in mind

You may be lucky if you try David Green as he supplies re chromed bits.However this part is prone to pitting.

Big Kev.


ps, sent you a P.M.

Cheers Kev, I will try David Green...are his re-chromed mazak or recast in another "proper" metal?
I suspect re-chromed mazak will just go the same way soon enough....

Thanks for the search details I will ring JRW and ask if they fit well I would have thought someone on the board would have bought one

When I got mine, JW was still selling original Lucas ones. There might still be plenty of original ones out there considering that this is an impact area. Unfortunately the tail light surrounds are repro and not a good fit. I am thinking of drilling and tapping the rear top for a concealed stud.

Thanks for the info I have left messages on JRW's phone and emails as yet no reply

I got an original, complete unit from S.G Walker in Chelmsford. I think it was the only one he had, but you can try him. 01245 460214
Have you tried Barry Kent? 01707 883569

Thanks for the info I will give them a ring

I have just ordered one today,will report on how it fits when I recieve it.

[johnwp5bcoupe]

That's great let me know

Not sure if the rolling eyes meant you wanted me to let you know,or not? ...but here goes:-
Finally had a chance to refurbish the whole assembly at the weekend,which included fitting the shroud.
It fits perfectly well (from JRW) and I'm very pleased with the result,it would have not looked right to fit the pitted old one against shiny new paint.
Here's a (shoddy ) photo,the old one below:-
