SPARTO Lenses and Bezels

#1 Post by StuartC » Mon Feb 27, 2023 4:24 pm

I am searching for Sparto lenses and bezels for my 1959 S2.....the originals are a little tired to say the least.
I have attached a few photos for reference....

Need:

2 amber domed lenses and bezels for front signal outer
1 clear lens and bezel for front inner....5835 marked on lens
2 amber lenses for rear turn signal.....57103A...in a pinch I could resurrect 1 and spray it with Krylon tangerine orange KO9034
1 red lens for stop....57101....one lens (centre upper) has been sprayed with VHT SP888 night shades

Thanks
Stuart

I have these.
One of the yellow ones is cracked and the red one is cracked and has a small piece missing.
Most of the bezels are fairly straight except for one which is a little bent.
I'm not sure what your expectations are for used lenses, these are not bad...but they are 60 years old!

They are located in Kelowna. Let me know.

Hello Greg
My initial attempt is to exhaust the option of replacing the "original" lenses "like for like".....
That being said I am finding/realizing that is becoming a daunting task.
By the look of your photo the bottom 3 appear to be contenders.....IF the numbers on the lenses correspond to the numbers in my original photo.
If they do what is your price for the three?

Considering they might be over 60 years old, the condition is not too bad and I think there are some usable pieces here once they're cleaned up.
2 yellow lenses are 57103A
2 yellow lenses are 57101 (although they are slightly different, they have the same number)
Clear lense is 5835
Red lense is 57101

If you can use them you can have them.
Located in Kelowna but I'll be coming down to the coast later this month.
I believe you have my contact info so feel free to call me if you're interested.
