Wipac Back Up Light Wanted

[Jimm]

I need back up lights for my Tiger.

Looking for at least one correct Wipac S210A R66 light to pair up with the one I have. If you have a pair that is better than mine I’ll look at that too.

Please let me know if you have one or two to sell

I’m looking for the gaskets. Anyone know a source? I contacted Wipac last year but they stopped production years ago.

I saw gaskets for these on Ebay UK. A little pricey but what other choice do you have?

Shipping from the UK is very expensive these days. I'd rather get one from a US seller, spend the money on the part and not the post

Sure.... I'm just suggesting a likely easy location to get them if you can't find locally.
But the parts are where they are. And the UK has quite a lot of NOS parts like that as the lights were comon to other makes/ models... I bought 2 sets of NOS ones out of UK eBay.

As a side note.. often here about stateside owners and shipping from abroard....

Try being in Australia.... Shipping is much more and we have a weaker currency... But you got to get the parts you need where you can

I will add that it is surprisingly less expensive to ship from the UK to the US than from the US to the UK and I believe I’ve actually had to pay more for shipping from Canada to me than from England to me. ( crazy )

It’s been a year since I bought anything from the UK but I do not recall the cost of shipping being prohibitive, of course some eBayers are noted for inflated shipping costs on items they offer at relatively low prices. That way they get the ‘click’ based on the item price and then make up their profit in shipping…but that can be the case no matter from where the item is shipped.

Some shipping prices have increased recently from the UK. As it happens I've just priced up shipping of a new pair of Wipacs to the USA, fully insured tracked and signed for and it works out at £24.30 Thats 750g and a 5 to 7 day service.
The Royal mail has informed us shipping is almost back to full service after the recent disruptions.

Send a pic of what you need. I'll check my stash.

I have a set of new ones somewhere. Bought them on e-bay 15 years ago. Let my try to dig them up.

Thank you to all who responded. I got the part I need

Tod:
The thieves at eBay charge Sellers the same commission on shipping as they do for the part sold. So a seller pays eBay commission for the total cost + shipping of an item. This is why some Sellers list a low price for the item and a high price for shipping. One way or the other it's the same cost to a Seller no matter how they split the listing.
