Those elusive green reflectors......

The smaller holes are a mystery, maybe for reducing the 'glow'? I have seen those green jewels with brackets with shorter mounting straps (5" vs. 6") which I assume were for HUPs. What the holes are probably not for is towing or rope/chain attachments. Holes that far out from the bumper mountings would bend the bumper before pulling the vehicle out of a hole.

I think that by the time HUPs were in production, the reflectors were pretty much out. Perhaps the shorter straps are for the C11as type bumpers as shown earlier in this thread.

Early HUPs had them. Not sure for how long.

Betty appears to have one.

David: To be frank with you I have very little info on these reflectors and or colours. Maybe Ian could shed a little light on his vehicle with the Green AND the Red. I know I'm repeating myself, but some very interesting information and or queries have been put forth as well as questions bought up by the late great "Salesman Bob Mosely" and others. Even tonight, more info has been put forth which is quite enlightening. FOR MYSELF, when I saw these "prisms", I just knew that they would fill the gap, as any one can tell by the photos, until the real ones appeared on the market. I have $160.00 (8 prisms) plus invested and if can make them work to out fit 4 vehicles, well, we all turn out to be a winner.

I am only aware of green reflectors, fitted to front bumper only on the earlier CMP models. My use of red on the rear of the C11AS was purely to utilise the bumper holes to mount red reflectors so I complied with UK law of providing reflectors on the rear of the vehicle. By using the rubber tail light assemblies they did not contain the requirements and saved me having to fit out of character reflectors elsewhere.
