    I think it is a good idea, from the look of it ,the material looks light, and maybe a small 5 HP. may work well. the only thing is the cost of the material.   Dan R

    Good Job, I just did my 1.4 this fall #3 must be a trouble cylinder mine also was low . I had the head rebuilt at a local machine shop ,all working good now. I was thinking of replacing the exhaust manifold ,do you think that it would be worth it ? The cost is negligible time and trouble is the question. Dan R

    Paul, the base size is 140 mm long by 78 wide . the mounting screws on the lens are 110mm center to center. the Lucky lens holds on by 1 screw at the top and slips under a tab in the base I drilled a mounting screw hole at the bottom of the base for the lens. Dan R

    Paul, the Lucky base has 2 bulbs . the bulb sockets are down in the base , with only the glass part above the base.  The sizes are  55 w. 115 L.  65 H.  25 H   mm. on the low side this the in side of the lens .I guess there is no standard size. I have had these lenses since I built it. The fun part is watching the guys who go crazy trying to figure the year by the lens. I also like the look of the lens they were the same on Morris Miner. MG A , Jaguar and many other Brit. cars.  Dan R
