Something to reflect upon

Please join me in donning my outdoor rainwear.

Can someone please tell me which reflector is correct for the rear of a 58MY? I am presuming - always willing to be corrected - that it will be of the Lucas variety, but is there a particular one and part number.

Kind regards

James

It depends which rear lights you have

Single red sparto on each side which also acts as a flasher.

No separate reflector, the sparto tailights have a reflex reflector as part of the lens.

Thank you for the information and the amazing illustration.

How effective the Sparto reflectors are compared with modern expectations is open to debate. Personally, I think that a pair of small round stick on or single stud retained reflectors fitted regardless of lighting type is probably a prudent move.

Because I have Lucas L488 rear lights I have 2 large round military  reflectors on the back of YOD.  YNM  doesn't have any because it has sparto rear lights
