Reproduction S2/TC tail light lens
Grumblebuns:
There's a company in the Los Angeles area capable of reproducing the tail light lenses for the S2 and TCs called Aftermarket Reproductions. I contacted the company and sent them the lenses from my TCS. According to Yolanda, the person I'm in contact with, they can reproduce the Europa lenses but it will require a sacrificing a couple of original lenses to make the molds. If I'm reading her explanation correctly, the red clear flat section will have to be ground off to get to the inner red and clear reflectors.
I'm not willing to sacrifice my pristine unobtainable lenses for the cause.
I'm putting this request out to the Europa community. If you have a ratty but intact rear lens(s) just sitting around in your parts bin, and willing to donate it to this project, I'll send it to Yolanda for evaluation. If it's not usable I'll ship it back to you. If it is usable, you'll be in the Europa owners hall of fame for your contribution. The most important criterion is having the flat red and red/clear reflector sections intact for removal. As a last resort, I'm willing to buy the lens (for a sane price).
Finally my disclaimer. I have no financial interest in this company or products. I just want a source of replacement lenses for my Europas and Elans and am willing to do the leg work to make this happen.
Contact me off list if you can help.
If this project works out, I''ll see if Yolanda can reproduce the lenses for the S1.

The are "awaiting stock" so it might be a while before you can actually get one but it does seem like they can be had from them.

Hmmm... another possible supplier and about a three hour drive from me.

Did you see the price per unit? I doubt that they have the Federal version of the lights.
