Re: 1939 KM20 with MT1130 1940 model taillight ?

You mean casting the red lens mark?

Re: 1939 KM20 with MT1130 1940 model taillight ?

Thank You Ron ,
Yes both sizes are marked up MT1130 !
Other than size they are identical ..Im guessing the larger one is correct ?

Thank You in advance,
Steve ..

That is possible, but it's a study in itself and you need some hardware.
# toploader pottery kiln with controller that can do a cooling path (important)
# supply of modellers plaster and fine quartz sand
# some mould making ability, all info can be found on the net.
# patience.

casting glass available here : https://glasscolor.com/catalog/product/view/id/17373/s/gaffer-orange-red/category/405/

After you manage to cast the part you need grinding and polishing equipment.

so....for the specialist :grimacing: .

better to buy 2 component colorised clear casting from Smooth-On like at this shop :https://www.formx.eu/molding--casting/index.php
more info : https://www.formx.nl/products/pu-harsen/pu-clear-resins/crystal-clear-200----1kg.php

but the easy route can be to opt for a existing clear lens and color it red !
have fun ! succes.

The plot is well and truly lost!

They do not have to be made in glass, and who will pay for it.

If I did have them done in glass, they would be stamped.

I have some NOS white frosted glass ones, that I could give you one, if I get a red replica in return.

Let me know,

whats the conversion for the internals? once cut your missing one bolt hole and probabley shorten it, has any got a pic of an original internal

thanks, barry

Re: 1939 KM20 with MT1130 1940 model taillight ?


Barry I can't find a pic of the actual internals. But if the link to the Ariel conversion still works, it explains the procedure. The mounting foot is made shorter to accommodate the number plate window, so the bulb holder will have to follow suit. Ron

Re: 1939 KM20 with MT1130 1940 model taillight ?

Barry you should have looked at that Ariel article like I suggested. Here's the picture of an original and the cut down version. Further down the list of pictures and there's a pic of it fitted. Ron
