Do any of you xr7-g owners know of a source for Lucas lamp small bits and parts? I just need one of the retaining clips (springy wire thingy) that holds the bulb in the reflector.
Looks like these guys reproduce them but I don’t know anything about the company or the product.
Just looking at the pic they posted some of the mounting hardware appears different than the XR7-G/Shelby application.
You could reach out to them and see if they sell any parts separately.
The only other place I know of is ebay. These lights are much more plentiful in the UK and maybe you could score a later plastic bodied light or damaged lights to grab the spare parts.

You would think that there would plenty of those bulb retainers around.
I have a couple of extra Lucas fog light sets, but I don’t think I have any extra retainers as I was working to put a complete set together to install in my 68 XR-7 fun driver (it had a G front valance with the wrong lights when I bought the car last year).
Like the cheapskate that I am, I ended up making one out of a paperclip. It seems stiff enough as is, but if necessary, I’ll heat treat it next time I grill burgers. :
Nice!!
Nice work again Jody.

Maybe I’ll start marketing these paperclip…er… reproduction Shelby Mustang/Cougar XR7-G/Jaguar/etc Lucas lamp retaining clips. Only $79.00 each ($89.00 each for deluxe, chrome version), plus $50.00 shipping and handling. Come and get em before they’re gone!
Nicely done!
Priceless!
