Misc: Electrical (General) Miller 8 inch headlamp lens glass

[Michel]

Hello,
Do you know where to find Miller 8 inch headlamp lens glass (only) ?
Thanks.

Genuine ones are rarer than honest politicians. I assume you mean the post-war curved, fluted pattern. Rudges and Velocettes also used them. I could be wrong, but I think some pre-war machines had flat frosted glass, so in that case, burgle a bathroom.

Possibly a Lucas replica; I don't think the Miller ones had the oval design. But, it's more authentic than the flat frosted style:

Robert Watson may still have the one I part traded him for a rear cylinder head.

I think it’s on his B

No. The lucky b!@$!^&d found a new one.

Someone was looking for one a while ago and I pointed out there was one on ebay at that time for £150, it got relisted twice before disappearing.

@ Chankly, you’re right, I mean post-war curved one.
@ LoneStar, I have the Lucas I’d like to replace with the Miller.

Partially correct, the chap who was listing them had three new old stock Miller 8inch headlamp glasses, they all sold consecutively, for differing amounts of money, the last one sold for £123.99 on the 8 July 2023.

Given the difficulty in finding these glasses, would someone not have taken the initiative to make copies of them.
What is possible with the Lucas 8" glass should be possible with the Miller 8", isn’t it true?
