Hollandia Spezial

Post by Arthur E. Person »

I have a 67 R60/2 w Hollandia Sidecar. I have been trying to find a replacement for the front light which was broken. It is a Hella light, identical to the taillight except with clear lens instead of red. Can anyone help me with finfing this light, or if not possible, will the front light for a Steib TR500 work? I would like to keep it stock ifpossible, but if not the closest match would have to suffice. Thanks in advance for any help. I am enclosing a side view of the sidecar which clearly shows the light

Look at the Zweiradmusuem site, which shows the lights for the similar Steib TR500. That light is not there, nor does that light look to me like an original item. Maybe it is a more recent addition. It looks like a modern truck light that I bought to fill a hole in the front of my sidecar fender. Even with the foam rubber gasket, it did not fit the curvature very well, so I did not use it. I can send you a photo, or send you the light for a three dollars postage, if you want it.

Here in Australia, we have plenty of the lamps shown in the picture. I can find a new one if you like.
Or, you can use the one in the picture, It is NOS. It has been in my shed for a long time. I think it would look better.
Let me know if I can help you.

John
