    I am currently out of the A-body lenses and will not have them back in stock for approximately another 4-6 weeks.

    One thing to keep in mind while buying these parts is the A-body lenses used 4 tabs, while the big cars used 3-tabs. (There are also 2 types of housings, 4-tab for A-bodies, and 3-tab for Big cars.)

    The lenses look the same except for the number of tabs they use to clip into the housings, so you need to make sure you get the right ones.

    Not meaning to hijack the thread but the lens request raises a question about the unit that houses the lens. Is this retainer plastic or metal? and were they originally chrome plated?

    They were plastic and chrome plated.

    On the "full size" cars they are diecast pot metal and chrome plated.

    Be careful with OPG - make sure that they have the part in stock - they are known for lots of back orders and a 20% restocking fee. I got flim flammed by them earlier this year and it cost me a few bucks.:rant: Year One is much more user friendly and no 20% fee.

    '70 Riv is 3 clip - not 4, so they will not fit ! :TU:

    contacted both those places. They only carry 3-clip. I am still in need of the 4 tab/clip dome lens covers.

    Parts Place has the 4-clip sail panel lenses. I am not saying they are 100% correct, but they are 4-clip.

    Cheers
