[#2368994]

Tried out my new handlebar torch mount from Deal Extreme,last night which snapped 200m into my ride and resulted in my MTE P7 torch getting a cracked lens.
Anybody know of where I can source a replacement lens?
Basically its a 3.5 cm piece of circular flat glass.
Any help appreciated.

Deal Extreme sell replacement lenses in packs of 5 or so. Cheap, but just takes a while for delivery.

You might be in luck. I did the same some years back and had to buy a replacement: but they came in packs of 10. If you measure the diameter of the disc and let me know I'll pop one in the post to you.

I made a replacement out of a CD case. A year and a bit on and it's starting to cloud up a little but still doing the job. I wouldn't usually say this, but simples!

can you get wider angle reflectors for the torch? my only criticism is the normal beam is a bit narrow

No worries. Glad to be of assistance. I've just put one in an envelope. I'm a big fan of the kindness of strangers etc etc....
