What type of lens should an R47 headlight have and does anybody stock them, or is it down to home cutting?

The answer should be here: https://www.austinsevenfriends.co.uk/for...p?tid=1393 and here https://www.austinsevenfriends.co.uk/for...393&page=2
You might get lucky with an eBay search (though this is, unfortunately, not correct): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184777711003?...SwpE5bqheW

The lenses should be Lucas ‘Diffusa’ which are a frosted type. I have modern repro ones available. email me on stuart.joseph@btinternet.com.
