Spridget Tech Talk (MG Midget & Austin-Healey Sprite)
getting the '74 midget ready for paint.It is a very easy car to strip parts off of, however, noted that the front turn signal buckets are close to shot, and not listed by VB or Moss as replacement parts. I would think that these are very susceptable to rot given the location. Any suggestions on replacement source?
The best place is probably somewhere like ebay. 61-74 will interchange. The lens color on the later ones was amber and on the early ones was clear.

Another thing yuo can do is post a want ad in the trader section. Lots of spare parts around here too.

I will check if we have them in stock, if not I will check with my UK supplier & let you know, Mick Burke.
A friend of mine and fellow club member here in KC sells a lot of cars and parts, perhaps he'd have what you need. It's worth the call I think. Here's his current ad on craigslist about parting out some Midgets. http://kansascity.craigslist.org/pts/1553616047.html
