Are these the correct lights for a 1969 Shasta Compact? You can see from the left side pic that not all of the screw holes are being used; the right side lens is broken and looks like water got behind it so I am going to replace and seal these. The lights are embossed with "Auto Lamp 576 Chicago" on the left and "Auto Lamp 575 Chicago" on the right. I like the idea putting the old car-style lights instead but might just go with cheaper (and easier) vintage Shasta-style. I know they are readily available. |

Yep, those are likely original to your trailer. The same lights were also sold as Reflect-O-Lite 110s. They're bigger and deeper than the Bargman 98/99s that are available in reproduction. I have a set a PO put on my trailer back in the '60s- I'll likely be selling them, good lenses with rusty-ish backplates.

Note: Pathfinder 575/6 do not match Reflecto 110s... be careful buying online.

Didn't know they were called Pathfinders. That's what I'll look for.

On my 1970 16SC, presumably original to the trailer.

I am kicking around an idea, I bought 57 Mercury car tail lights at a swap meet and I may put them on my 57 Trotwood. I will even hook up a wire for the reverse lights to go on. The trailer now has damaged old lights so I think it will be cool.

On my 1970 16SC, presumably original to the trailer. So these are Reflectolite 110's? on your Shasta Compact? Would you mind measuring the diameter of the mounting plate? I have to replace the entire light assembly because of corrosion and poor sealing. The new ones need to cover the holes drilled for the original lights. |
