Rob, can't help with a source for these gaskets, but (as someone else suggested)
side marker lamps were only present on US cars as far as I know.
My car, which is mostly UK spec, did have them when I first got it, and I got
some "oohs" and "ahs" rom other club members when they saw, since none of them
had them. I like them - as well as an aditional safety feature, I thought they
looked good. Since then, I had my bonnet replaced by a local LBC garage, and
(stupidly) assumed that he'd keep them, whereas he had other ideas and threw
them out, so I'm now back to standard UK spec.

Side Marker Lamps
Seems like we never found a source for new black base gaskets, did we? Please
let me know if there is a source or other alternatives others have tried,
like making their own. Didn't someone say jag's base gasket might fit?
I was looking through the newest Rimmer Bros catalog and notice that many of
the pictures of 1500's and IV's don't have any side marker lamps. Was there
years without them or did the owners eliminate the holes before painting?
Thanks
