I tried those tel. numbers in England and they didn't work. Strange that his number didn't work. Did you put the country code 32 in front of it (Belgium)? As far as I understand the parts are in Belgium not England. The address in Belgium is very close to Bruxelles. We have Belgium forum members. I don't know how far they live from this address? Perhaps they could check things out or do a local pick up to be sure we don't get ripped off. I tried Google maps to see if there is a company on that site. The satellite pics show a new insustrial area but street view doesn't work in Belgium.

Stuart,
As a aside, I think these would be good on the back of a Mk2! They are just about the correct size. 224 X 105mm

Did you see the price? Put 2 on a mk2 and you have doubled its value

If you price up separate lights; sides,stop,fog and reverse, it doesn't work out too bad. It's about one months deprecation on a new car! which won't have the longevity of a Midas!

The rings on ebay work out at £20 delivered (I bought some before David made his generous offer), the 5 3/4 lamps I fitted were off a Jag IIRC, you can look for Triumph lights and so on. I think mine cost a fiver for some essentially new Cibie lamps.
