The club spares scheme has many more parts for G2 m14 G5 and M8's than AMC classic spares.
6½" Pre-Focus Light Unit will fit L/weights with 6½" Wipac Headlamp replaces 043424 1961-on, C, CS models with DU, MU headlight shell replaces separate glass & reflector on MU42.
That may be true but I know that's not the correct headlamp for a 1959 G2.

The 6 1/2 unit will not fit a 59 g2 unless you change the forks.

Kiwiengineer, on Ebay and in Australia appears a beam unit that may suit you:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/233494057553, Triumph Wipac S0507 Reflector and Glass Set Headlap NOS NP4687 5.5 inch US § 45.99.
That is much less than what they quoted me for silvering the old reflector, but postage to Europe is prohibitive.
As for my nacelle, it looks authentic for a 1959 G2 so I will stick to it. Have to do something about the Honda forks though..
Regards,
Paul
