[VAC] '66 Airstream Safari Parts

["Harvey Barlow" <harveybarlow@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

I just discovered this list over the weekend while browsing the VAC website
and am impressed with all the enthusiastic "chatter" regarding classic
Airstreams and classic cars, both of which I love.

I am slowly returning a decent old '66 Safari to useful service.  So far, I
don't need many parts and have been able to locate several small parts
either at the Airstream factory store at Jackson Center or from Inland RV in
Corona, CA.  However, both of my original equipment taillight lenses are
cracked, broken, and missing pieces from the outer edge and will have to be
replaced.

The factory installed taillights on my trailer are round, approximately 6
1/2" in diameter.  Does anyone have a pair or know of a source?   Has anyone
found a solution to the damaged lenses without replacing the entire
taillight assemblies?  Has anyone discovered a currently available taillight
assembly that looks similar and can be installed without altering the rear
sheet metal of my vintage Airstream?

I'm looking forward to reading the interesting experiences of vintage
Airstream enthusiasts.
