6 1/2" headlamp

Post by Red Gauntlet »

My G5 and as it happens, the G2 both have a 6 1/2" headlamp, it appears that the lenses are now unobtanium unless one buys a Miller 'cats eye' replica, sadly the last person, an ex girlfriend had binned the G2 (30+ years ago) and smashed the original lens so I cannot see if it was a Wipac or Lucas unit. Is there a manufacturer of the 6 1/2" lens or am I now to fit the Miller style one which looks a bit odd on a 60's machine.

I think you should find its a Wipac headlamp. 6/1/2" rim that takes a 5 1/2" sealed beam glass / reflector / bulb holder unit.
