Hi

Have a look at this:
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=47279&p=451138&hil ... or#p451138

It looks like the BMW reflector shown in the above link is the same as the type ESM stocks.

Those BMW reflectors (part no 7161921) are also widely available, both new and used, on eBay and elsewhere.

I just bought a set of 4 slightly used for $12, shipping included ....
I have two Minors in upstate New York. One is the 1961 Traveller my dad bought new that year in London, where I was born. It's had a hard life but is still running cheerfully at 54K miles. The second is the oldest Minor confirmed to survive in North America, a LHD high-light Tourer built in April 1949. It's a total basket case, but will be restored over the coming years.

Inside every later 948 Minor rear lamp is a Lucas Reflex reflector held in with a tiny bit of glue. Smaaaaaash! Job done, if you don't mind a bit of work with a file and some polish.

When I was at the reflector stage I found a card of about 6 in a pound shop, stuck one on and it looks pretty good even though it is flat instead of convex!

Change it for a high level red brake light? I've done 2 like this so far.
