Hi All. Does anybody have contact details of somebody who manufactures classic car indicator and taillight lenses? I know of a guy in Langebaan who does it with fibreglass resin, but he doesn't respond to my WhatsApp messages. Thanks.

Try Hans, Kraaifontein/Durbanville, 0822629173. I heard he wanted to stop, but, perhaps he is still doing it.

The guy in Kraaifontein referred me to the guy in Langebaan. I've finally got hold of him and he mentioned that he's snowed under with making lenses, hence the lack of response. I'll go visit him some time soon.

Thanks supervly. That's the guy in Langebaan. I also got hold of the "Lenses for Oldies" guy, suggested by Blitzkrieg. Looking at his pictures and production method, etc. on Facebook, I'm very impressed. I got a quote from him and should proceed shortly.
