[TR] PLASTIC 'beehive' stand-alone unit

[Paul Dorsey]

I haven't really ever beheld an assembled 'beehive light', that is at the 
same time as 'knowing' what it was I was behold'n.  Mine are in boxes.  I 
did slip the TR3A's metallic ring over the NAPA unit and the flange caught 
it correctly- but- still I was reluctant to say they 'interchanged'.

Remember- I bought an abandoned project.  I've never operated my Triumph. 
My friends and family think, "it gives him something to do... We don't think 
those things really run".  The time it's taking seemingly is proving them 
right.  I know... I could be fishing or collecting stamps.

Thanks,
Paul Dorsey

Funny, it used to be they would actually fit the Lucas holder on a TR3A.  I
used them as replacements before I knew about Moss & TRF.  Didn't fit very
well, but they would stay in place.
