Looking for signal light lenses for 1979 245L Wagon ( Panel Van )

SWE245L

Hello I am looking for some lenses for my vehicle.
I have gone to a wreckers and pulled some off of a 240 but they don't fit as i didn't realize at the time they are a different shape and use a 3 screw system rather then a 2 screw system.

Greatly appreciate any sort of help in locating a pair or even just the RH side.
Thank you.

I might have one in the boot of a 240 i got , has some interesting and valuable parts too!

SWE245L

thanks you very much

this is how it looks from when I got it from its pervious owner.
very sad sight. and clearly on its last legs.

OK I have a couple in much better condition (need a good clean). One has a crack as shown and a few other minor defects, but I'd say roadworthy condition. See pics. Lemme know if you want them. $30 for the pair plus postage.

There's a 'Hella' symbol visible on one of the OP's pics.

So I went looking in the parts books for the pre-81 Hella units with 2 screws.... and there's no listing for them. Not in the 75-78 book, nor in the 79-84 parts book.

All the Hellas they show take 3 lens screws. And the screws are different part numbers to the screws for the Cibies.

But 2-screw versions obviously exist, because pictures. Anyone got part numbers for these things?

carnut222

Major Ledfoot Interesting. Yeah, the 2-screw ones I have available for the OP are also Hella marked.

Major Ledfoot

carnut222 Indeed, the ones you're offering are a direct replacement.
What year model car did you get them from?

carnut222

Major Ledfoot Sorry no idea what year car they came off. They may have been off my 79 245, but I'd have to go back and look at some pics of when I got it? Otherwise they would have come off one of the cars I scrapped or were found in the boot of one of those cars.

carnut222

Major Ledfoot Nope definitely not off my 79 245 - see pic. It has 3-screw lenses.
