Default Need two euro side turn signal mounting hardware.

My 87 Strosek has the Euro side turn signal markers. The metal clamps on either side don't hold the markers in very well and are not the same. I don't think they are correct. Couldn't find a picture in PET. Anyone have a pair I can buy.

Thanks,
Glenn

I have the clear lense, the problem is with the metal clip to hold the lense. Does not work well. don't know what options there are.

Surely you have already thought about spending 20 minutes to make them.

I am about to replace mine die to cracked lenses. When I get the current ones out you're welcome to them assuming they can be cannibalised.

Anyone have a picture of the correct metal piece that the screw goes into? I could probably just make them. Are they U shaped like the US side markers?

Thanks,
Glenn

Well, now you have me confused. My Euro side markers have 1 screw that holds them in. There are no rear clamps like the US version. One side of the marker slips behind the sheet metal and the screw mounts through the other side.

I think what might be helpful is a picture. Given that you have a custom car, the standard rules and parts may not apply. At any rate, it sounds like you are going to be fabricating something.

Get us a pic.

I will take some pictures tonight. Must be different than stock due to the fender extensions and was US fenders originally.

The euro fender has a built in tab which is what the lights attach to. As Keith mentioned no seperate U shaped braket, not at all like the USA side markers.

The fiberglass fenders are bonded to the US fenders which have been cut out for the side markers. I should be able to epoxy (JB Weld) tabs to each side to hold the markers in place. I did take pictures last night but they are home made brackets that just hold the markers in and not well.

I need to rewire the side markers and front turn signal/parking lights as someone did a crap job cutting off the original connectors and splicing the wiring together.
