Mk 1 instrument binacle lights

Post by Mothman »

Am going to remove Sophie's binacle [when it warms up] and replace the bulbs therein as several dont work. Are these readily available?

Thanks

Dear Andy.
I would aswell Andy, buy lots more of those little 1.2 w capless
bulbs than you need because it is best to replace them all at the same
time Andy. as sometimes happens is that you renew the ones that
aren,t working, only to find some of the others don,t work when you
put it back together. And plus they are easily dropped on the floor
with cold fingers etc. :wink:
All The Best Andy.
