Ok, Rowena, you've started with one of the more difficult parts to get. I don't have any spare ones, but once I'm home next week I can make a phone call. Its a possible maybe. Another strategy is to fit a Bellett grille, the early Bellett headlight surrounds are harder to find, but the light pressed aluminium late series ones are easy. I can supply a late grille and surrounds. Cheers, Matt. |

Thanks Matt!  I love the Wasp grille so will be sticking with it. Are these parts easier to find in say Japan or somewhere that you know of? I tried to have a quick look online but with no success. |

Hey Matt will the early series surrounds fit with the existing grill and screw points [2 of them look to be in a different position] ?? If so I do have a pair of early series headlights surrounds. |

From my understanding there are no wasps in japan. They were all exported. Parts are hard to find and most bits off sedans and gt s don't fit Buy another and use bits from each other Depends what you want to achieve. Liz |

Hi Robot, Good to see another one getting saved. I too need headlight surounds, and am thinking the only way might be to get some made up. I just need to find someone to do it, as I don't have the skills or tools to do it. Good luck. |

I believe they are Glenn. I hope so anyway, as I didn't take any notice when I striped the orange one down, and just fitted them on any oldway. I figure it could be done, and maybe there would be enough interest to get a bulk run produced ? |

I have the number of a small foundry, the owner of which told me he could cast any item in alloy or brass. I'll attempt to contact him this week. Matt.
