Looking For 1971 Challenger Tail Panel Reflectors

[Daveh]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some tail panel reflectors for my 1971 Challenger.  The main one I need is the left one.  But I'm looking for what ever I can find.  Mine are very brittle and cracking.  Thanks

I do not believe that any part of the '71 tail lights/panel is reproduced, so you need to find them off a '71 somewhere.  I sold an extra set 3 years ago way too cheap.

Yep that's what Dave at Roseville told me, that's why I posted the question.  Thanks

IIRC at one time Penstar reproductions offered the '71 reflectors though I cannot attest to the quality.  Would be worth contacting them.

Also, there are two different sizes of reflector -- the outers are a bit shorter than the inners.

No luck with Penstar reproductions.

A couple of years ago, reproductions would show up on e-bay once in a while. It was hit and miss when they would be listed. Not sure if they are still out there?

I'm now looking for some of these tail panel reflectors as well.

Does anybody have any in nice shape they would like to sell and willing to mail to Canada ?

Just PM me here or email me at anlauto@hotmail.com

I eventually did locate a couple of pairs and snagged them right up.  Now that being said I'm in limbo and moving.  I have 3 different storage units and 2 packrats in storage.  They are safe if you can wait until I get them out of storage.  But it's going to be at least until June.  Let me know.

Thanks Dave, I'll keep that in mind as I continue to look...I have four mounted there now, but would certainly like to find better ones.

Laysons periodically reproduces them, but they are out of stock right now.  I went ahead and placed an order with them, about 3 months ago, to try to keep the ball rolling.  They still aren't giving any indication of when they will make this run, but I'm hoping soon so you might check with them.  They told me they thought they were the only supplier reproducing these parts.

I read somewhere they only have one of the sizes ? ..and I thought they were a bit pricey

They reproduce both the Outside and Inside reflectors, under PNs 71DC-LR and 71DC-RR respectively.  According to their website each one is $29.95, so you would need four (2pcs of each) for a full tail panel.

I also ordered these reflectors thru Layson's on Dec 5th 2020. I called them mid December, They told me it could be April or May 2121.. They are out of a Socialist State, Washington, and they are considered an essential Business, but the state shut down all the manufacturers which they get there supplies.. go figure!!

[anlauto]

I need to order a set too...

@Cudino  Wade, did you ever get these reflectors from Laysons ?
