    Keep a watch on Ebay. There have been a few NOS lenses on there lately.:Brow:

    OPG has them. I think they are about $15 each. HTH

    I've got some from OPG and it looks to me like they used an original to make a mold but got it backwards, meaning the notches are in the exact opposite position from where they should be. In other words it would fit if the point of the lense was turned inward which we know isn't right. I also got a repo in dash tach from them and noticed it had the same problem so they (whoever made it) just glued the lense in position and didn't mess with the tabs. Anybody else seen the same thing?

    I bought some of the OPG ones and didn't even get far enough to check the notches. I sent them back because they were way to distorted for me. Cleaned my original ones up with some PlastiX and was GTG.

    The have corrected the backward condition. I sent them digital photos of theirs vs. originals. A short while later I got the correct fitting repros in the mail. HTH.
