Title: Tail Lights & Clearance Lights.
Post by: Clipper Joe on May 18, 2015, 04:40:56 PM
Hello All Clipper Owners,

Just A Small Tech Note:

As These Clippers Are Getting Up Into There Golden Age.
I Have Found That The Plastic In Tail & Clearance Lights, Are Now Breaking Down.
The Club Supply Office Mel, Now Has New Ivory Grote 3 Light Tail Lights Up For Sale @ A Very Good Price.
These Will Fit Very Well On Monarch 1973-1977 :) On Clippers 1978-1980 & If You Have The Black Bargman Style With Red & Amber Lens, There Is A Small Modification You May Have To Install A Small Red Reflector Lens On Each Side To Cover Any Gaps Left By Older Style Bargman Units. ;)
Please Send Parts Order Form If You Are Having Problems With Your Rigs Brake & Tail Lights.

There Is Also LED Blubs Avaible Now, By RV Dealers.
************************************************

I Will Make Up Another Thread On LED Clearance Lights.

Please Submit Any Info You Have On This Topic .
Joe

You may be able to find tail lights on ebay.  They were Bargman.  They're hard to find these days.

For curtains, it's all personal preference.  Many folks removed the original pull up blinds with homemade curtains.  I liked the pull up style, so I just removed the original herculon fabric and stapled on new fabric.  Both options just require basic hemming.
