Keeping mind that if you put a brand new one on one side the other side will stick out like a sore thumb.

If you really want one there are is usually a 107 in the yards here. I know of at least one right now. Drop me a PM with details (drivers/pass/ just exactly how good of shape etc) and I'll find one for you alot less than the $149 on ebay. -

These things do fade over time so I second the comments about buying a new one. One thing I've found though is that these REALLY respond to cleaning and rigorous polishing of the exterior plastic with PLASTX. My 24-year old lenses look new, until you see the color difference of brand new lenses.

Thanks all - considering the great info - good point on the "matching lenses" - I covered the half inch hole w/ a 2" x 3/4" fender repair patch (amber) I picked up at Autozone - hole is in the recessed part - looks ok, but concerned long term about the 1) adhesive and 2) patch (vertical) adjacent to the horizontal right angle of the protruding part of the lens...TMI, I know...I'll look for some Plastx too.

I have a spare, (have to check if it is drivers side or not) it is nowhere near perfect, but there are no holes or major cracks. I will part with it CHEAP. It came off of a 1972.

email me at engr693@yahoo.com and I will send you some pictures.
