Bristol 401
Quote from Graham Wilman on 14 June 2023, 14:19Can you advise please on the location and type of rear reflectors usually fitted on the above.
Also are the front wing Pegasus badges "handed" or does one face forward and one face to the rear.
Thank you Graham

Quote from Michael Brooks on 21 June 2023, 10:22As far as I know know the 401 wasn't fitted with reflectors as these were not a legal requirement until a bit later in the 50s. My 403 had reflectors with an angled base fitted forward of each rear light cluster. They were very poor quality and looked like after market parts. I shall have to replace these with something before I get it back on the road to remain legal and will probably use self adhesive circular ones fixed on the chrome bumper inserts.
The Pegasus badges are not handed and BODA have good reproductions.
