I have been working on rebuilding an AMR 250GTO. I rebuilt it once, and was unhappy with it, so tried my luck at it again, and in the process, lost the tail lights. Impossible to find replacements until I saw Pierre selling some Speedster tail lights on eBay, and I grabbed a couple sets hoping they would work.
I am very pleased, and cant thank Pierre enough for offering these items up to help the novice builders like myself.
(if you have a GTO to build, these are great additions/replacements)
I cant build them as well as all of the artisans on this site, but I just enjoy trying.

(My build in process - still lots to do)

Hey Peter - just check eBay under seller 'fab-4810'
He also has tire valves that also double greatly as interior switches.

I love Bosica Parts!!!! When I use those lights I chuck them in my moto-tool and sligtly reduce the outside diameter with fine grit paper to see the trim rings better then use some polishing compound and polish them so they are bright & clear.

I think those are his own parts. He sells them as a 3 piece assembly.

The Bosica are 2 piece...I just yesterday came upon a bunch of Bosica detail sets, including the light sets and head light sets [which are really nice]. Also wire wheel sets, wipers and leather hold down straps.

I will try your tweak when I use them. BTW Joe, I have watched your models closely, you do superb work.
