Jon M Posted March 19, 2023 Report Posted March 19, 2023 Does anyone know where to find an oval strobe light lense for our 78 J? The one I ordered is oblong. I see entire assemblies used on line but just need a lense. Thanks for any help here. Cheers! Quote

N201MKTurbo Posted March 20, 2023 Report Posted March 20, 2023 I have some of them, but they are plastic and look like crap. If you need one to get you by, let me know, but otherwise you should find a new one. Quote

I received the oval lense as the suggested replacement from Wat and found today that I do indeed need a round lense. They don't seem to be as available. Do you know a vender for the round lense? I saw in one post that a Piper tail light lense may work? Quote
Guest Posted March 20, 2023 Report Posted March 20, 2023 The round lens from a tail position light might fit. There were Hoskins strobes used in some airplanes and some other airframes used Aeroflash Signal Corp lights, they used round lenses. Quote
