Or the front indicator?

Is anyone near to a MK1 Chimaera and able to measure the diameter of the indicator and how much bigger you could go in the same space. Will 90mm fit in there?

Thanks.

They are military Land Rover based covers I think scratchchin so there should be ones for sale with dimensions.

Unless you want to know the actual bodywork aperture size?

Seems they may be 85mm, some like to go for clear with orange filaments:

Cheers for that. I'm replacing the whole indicator unit with something else so needed to know the size. 85mm works a treat.

More like 75mm?

Not so long ago you could get these in clear, about 12 quid a piece . . . . . . .

I believe the 85mm dimension in the link I provided may have included the metal casing. scratchchin

I found the link on this thread from somebody fitting clear indicator covers, which may be of help or not....
