Wanted front grilles and side lights B16 Amazon

[elans1]

Hello,

I´m looking for a set of front grilles and the early side lights for a 1961
model B16 Amazon.
As I´m in England every 2nd month collection is not a problem.

Thanks
Wolfgang

By side lights, do you mean the front flashers (turn signals)? Those seem pretty hard to find at least the early clear ones are. I am currently using later model ones for the time being.

I have a question for you: are your rear taillight reflectors, the 4 bulb ones?

[elans1]

Yes, I mean the front early clear flashers
On the car I have bought are the later flashers, front panel and grilles
and I try to get the original parts for the age of the car.

Have you managed to find an early front panel for it then?

Those original front flashers are really hard to find (at least they are hard for me because I live in the U.S.). The thing with those, is that you need to have the complete kit to use them. This includes early reflector, rubber seal, different chrome trim piece and clear glass lens.

I have never been able to find all those things for both sides. I came close once, but the price was too high (about $200 and that didn't include the glass lens). You are from Germany, right? Here is something I found though: http://cgi.ebay.de/Volvo-Amazon-P120...ht_1130wt_1141

If you want a substitute, then buy this clear lens (it will fit the newer style). http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts...cator/1010356/

Hopefully this helps your search.

Hello lukeball,

Thanks, the ebay link was good.
Now I have a right chrome frame and a lens.

So you bought that? Next, I would contact the seller and find out if he has the one for the left side or if he knows where you can find one. You might also need the original reflectors. I have only one. Here is another one (but it is too expensive) http://cgi.ebay.de/BLINKERSOCKEL-VOL...#ht_500wt_1156 I would probably wait and see if your current reflectors work with the old style lenses.

I found both of the original front grills. The site is in swedish but it can be translated with google translate. The sellers are in Sweden, so you would have to work something out. http://www.amazonannons.selda.se/?vi...yid=-1&lang=sv

I will stay on the lookout. Let me know what happens next.

[elans1]

yes I have bought that but it is for the left side not as I told you right side.
I´ve seen the reflector and try to get it. It is expensive but when do I find
another one. The bad thing, the reflctor is for the right side. I have to find
part by part.
I´ve spoken to the seller of the B16 grilles in Sweden but they are sold to
Finnland.
Thanks for your help searching parts for my car.

You do not answer this question:

It's easy to find the parts you are looking for - but it is NOT easy to install the grills if you don't have the right front panel.
Are you aware of the fact that the front panel between B16 and B18/20 cars differs significantly?
