G'day all,
wondering if anyone has a lead on the reflectors used on the Wiles Junior and where they can be found? They are a white rubber/plastic and have 2 mount holes (similar to the American style ones on jeeps). I have looked at the Lucas ones as they seem to be supplied in white, but they have 3 mount holes. Any info very much appreciated. Cheers Pat |

I have the (remains of) same type and style. They just look like commercial off the shelf reflectors. I have not seen any original photos showing the reflectors but I would not be surprised if the first ones fitted weren't standard jeep reflectors. There was nothing fancy about the production of Wiles cookers.

At Jack's request, I split this off from his Wiles Junior Cooker thread.

Cheers Jack and Ewan, I am actually making up some new mounts for my reflectors as mine were pitted and holed. I was talking to Ian, and he was telling me that D /I\ D reflectors were what I was after. I found a picture of the sister of my cooker here on maple leaf (163115) that was taken in 1979 according to the source, that has the same reflectors as mine. I also note that the same reflector is pictured in Jacks picture of his pick of the oven in toolern vale. I think I'll have to keep looking.
