Cn anyone help with information on rear taillight numbers for a series 1.5 OTS 1968. the Barratt catalogue lists part numbers for s 1 4.2 OTS C 16084 and s 1 4.2 FHC but no listing for a S 1.5, I ordered part number C16084 which when it arrived does not fit my car.
Thanks John.

There is a difference in shape between the OTS and FHC versions of the rear tail lamp (FHC having a 'shorter' top horizontal surface) . Perhaps they packaged/shipped the wrong part? I am reasonably sure there is no difference between the S1 4.2 and the so called S1.5 versions, other than the OTS/FHC noted above.

The rear lights of a Series 1.5 are identical in every way to regular Series 1 lights. As long as you got an OTS S1 rear light, it should fit.
An OTS rear light has quite a straight top edge where it meets the body, whereas that edge on an FHC light is quite wavy.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply Steve, according to Lucas, there is only 1 part number that fits both OTS and FHC , SERIES 1.5. but as you say the shape at the top is different, I have tried to find an alternative number with other suppliers but none list any, now at wits end.

Thanks Simon, quite correct as you say , my old lamp has a straight top edge, whereas the replacement has a wavy top edge, Lucas as well as suppliers only list one part number for both FHC and OTS , SERIES 1.5 which is incorrect. Any ideas where I can try for the correct part?
