I need a pair of these lenses in clear glass. Dietz made them, likely several others would it. They need to be 2 and 7/6" or 2.375" across the base. Any help?
with a plastic sample.. one could make some patterns out of a heat resistant material.. and have a glass blower make some.. with slight modifications to the rim size to allow you to grind them to exact size...
I looked into a having these made-$100's of dollars. These were common marker light sizes-I just can't find two clear lenses that match. I bought the sockets at Hershey and re-worked them to new 12V sockets.
The yellow lens I have reads "Arrow Mt. Holly NJ 3103" Incidently, my home town.
The green lens reads "Joseph Pollak Corp Boston Mass Universal 76-76S-77-78-79-82-84"
start calling truck lighting suppliers that might have been around for a few decades.. i used to have a shop in santa monica cal.. they actually stocked lucas lighting assemblies.. but the have since closed..
i wonder if one could use silicone or mold release inside one of your lenses.. use some hydraulic cement to duplicate the internal pattern.. the same with the outer so you could have a glass blower just drop some glass in and give them a squeeze.. in the custom hinged brackets you make. or using some weak strong arms as die guides. calling truck lighting stores will be the best way.
You should start a new thread, since your problem has nothing to do with lenses. Find the "New Thread" button in this forum, click it, and fill out the appropriate info...
