Topic: Lucas Fog Light Questions

[ninedrvr]

A while back I picked up a pair of Lucas FT8 fog lamps on Ebay. The bodies are all chrome with the large wire holes which I believe makes these later models than what would be on a 69 Shelby. The lenses both say "England" on the bottom but one of them has a "E11" on it while the other doesn't. I have a few questions about these lights. When they are hung upside down (like a 69 Shelby), do the lenses get reversed or should "England" read up side down?

The retaining bezels have a white trapezoidal shaped gasket at each retainer screw but there isn't any other gasket that seals the lamp. Is something missing or is this the way it's supposed to be?

There are at least 4-5 different versions of the lenses.  I can't answer the question on lens orientation on a '69, but the white gasket mentioned is correct.

+1 . The lens was typically reversed given the bezel was taken off and reversed for reasons of aesthetics and drip hole. The larger cone shaped gray wire grommet was not typically used on Shelby factory supplied Lucas lights. The small round black grommet was typical.

So there is no other gasket on these?
