Rear Light Bulbs
I need to get a new rear light/brake bulb for my 1950 Javelin Deluxe. The old bulb is described as a 12v 21/5W. Is there a Lucas reference number for this? The Parts List only has a Jowett number. Perhaps I could change to LED bulbs. Does any one have a make and reference of the equivalent bulb?

Re: Rear Light Bulbs
I searched Jowett.net for Lucas.
to get this link.
It is all in the Technical Notes.
well almost, if it is not, let us put it there 
Note they are Small Bayonet Cab (SBC) with height OFFSET pins. Lucas 380 BAY15D. US type 1157 . Note the pins are opposite each other radially, not as in some bulbs 90 deg offset. I think these fit the early Jav as well.
Possible source here. or cheaper here
If you want LED and are prepared to pay £30 each then...here.
Cheaper but Negative ground only. Lucas_British_Replacements
If you would like Robin I will bring some over for you. Please let me know. Hope to see you soon!

Re: Rear Light Bulbs
I bought a type 1157, but it had offset pins whereas my 1950 Javelin doesn't. I presume that we are supposed to guess which way round the bulb goes in! The store then found ones with parallel pins, which fitted. Their number is 1176.
