I Bought a brand new Lucas shell(Wassell) and they have changed the mounting bolts to a metric thread by the look of it. To be fair they did supply bolts with it but will need locknuts on the inside to ensure they don't come loose with the vibes methinks. I wonder how long the chrome will last.

This is the original lamp,or at least it was in the boxes I bought in about 85, and it's definitely not metric, have ordered the bolts from the link you gave me chaz, fingers crossed,knew someone out there would able to help,in fact I think Bsaoc should be relocate to Westminster, say no more,thanks both.Dave.
