I looked at making repro’s but it’s the material that’s the problem. It’s a soft rubber.
I’ve some links for someone who did a variety of it, rather than a reproduction. Can dig them out if you want?
Edit: link as promised

LED headlamps
For ever good product out there that I've been able to find, there's 100:1 ratio crap ones. LED's, are absolutely in this category. I've tried literally 100's of them trying to find the elusive good ones. Dashboards bulb, to sidelights, brakelights, headlamps and spotlamps, I've tried them all. Most...

Welcome aboard! What year car is it?
There's only 2 CEM's - The CEM1 and the CEM3.

Re: Rear lamp Seals / Marker light seals / Headlamp Hinges / knobs / clips / Footwell lamps /Roller Blind
How much for the rear lamp seals. Now, in true "get poor slowly" fashion, both of these products will be being sold at cost price, because, after the expense of having a tool made, the next expense is the material they're pressed from. Which you buy in Rolls - BIG ROLLS, which means that even if I ...

They’re glued on; which means you either need utter unobtainium new old stock, or very carefully heat and transfer from a scrap car.

Re: 480 turbo CC Bello
Ok, I'd recommend the following: 1. Undo the handbrake adjuster at the central point, so that the cables are completely off. 2. Unbolt the calipers, remove the inner pad. 3. Wind back the calipers - This means you have use pressure on the piston to push, as well as turning the internal adjuster. 4. ...

Re: Welcome Seymour
Wow. Looks like a nice car now you've fettled it. Top work. Which Lead's do you use for switches, and dashboard Jeff? Honestly, I’ve given up with LED’s now. The problem is trying to source decent ones. Everything seems to be the same CCS (Cheap Chinese Shite), so I’ve actually reverted now back to...
