Re: 1939 KM20 with MT1130 1940 model taillight ?

Thank You Mr Pier .

Thank You Ron ,
Yes both sizes are marked up MT1130 !

Yes Steve the overall length is 4 1/4" The other one would be far too big. But you should try and retrieve the red plastic "tell Tale" badge. Ron

Thank You ,
I aim to preserve the red "tell tail" pendant .
I cant even open the body up yet as I cant close My fingers around a screwdriver ..I know all the internals are present on all 3 lamps but dont know how the pendant is attached into the body yet ?

Just had a thought (rare) but how would You be able to see the "tell tail" ..is way out of vision on the bike I think ?

Unless you have a neck like an owl. It will remain one of life's mysteries! Ron

Re: 1939 KM20 with MT1130 1940 model taillight ?

Hi all,

I'm attempting the above conversion of a 1130 car side light. I want to rivet a clear bottom lens in place. Any suggestions for the best type of plastic to use -something that'll not go brittle or yellow too quickly?

Regards,

Craig

Re: 1939 KM20 with MT1130 1940 model taillight ?

I think that I'd try a piece of Lexan polycarbonate cut from an old helmet visor. Modern visors are probably too thick, but the seventies examples were thin and flexible.

Re: 1939 KM20 with MT1130 1940 model taillight ?

As I replaced a couple of cheap MT110's with originals, I just used the rolled up clear plastic from those redundant cheapies. Ron

Thank you both. Polycarb sounds good. 'Hadn't thought of that. I have a covid face shield somewhere...
