Grill BO Marker Light Cover "Shutters"?

Post by Tarfu43 »

Is there a source for the "guts" of the grill BO marker light covers. Specifically, the triangular "shutter" in the cover. I have two marker lights, but somebody broke the "shutters" out of both of them. I know I can get the complete covers for around $20 apiece, but all I need is the plastic "shutters". Any ideas on where to acquire them....or make them?

Thanks!

They pop up once in awhile on ebay and at some vendors. You'll have to canvas the vendors to see if they have any current stocks of repair parts for the lamps.

Yeah, I was hoping there would be a more reliable source. Is there anywhere I could find the exact dimensions of the "shutters"? I would at least like to know the "head-on view" dimensions. That way I could probably fabricate something that would work.

Why don't you just post a photo of the part that you are calling a "Shutter" on the wanted board and I'll bet there's a dozen of us that have old lamps laying around with the parts you need still in them and for cheap?
