I've been looking for ages for the gasket that goes behind the standard Lucas 7" black shell. There are plenty of circular ones out there in internet land, but I have not been able to find the pointy ones for our 1.5. Delighted to receive these today:
Yep, thanks to Rick at Sunbeam Specialties, California (sunsp22@gmail.com). The number you need is EL53 at the top there. I havn't done the fitment yet, so possible the adjustment screw covers are for US spec lamp shell (?), but the all important pointy shape and rectangular recess on the bottom of front face (you can't see in picture) are here.
Sorry farina owners, it won't fit your cars.

Brilliant indeed! I have just found the website catalogue - the EL53 gaskets are $10.95 each. I'll contact 'Rick' tomorrow and find out postage/duty to the UK.
Bruce, for once you will not have to have something shipped from the UK!!

You might be able to avoid getting something posted from the states if you contact the Sunbeam Alpine owners club, I seem to remember a Spares News article in the Riley Record some time ago about these gaskets and who to contact in the spares dept of the Alpine club as the Alpine from 1959 to 1967 uses the same shaped headlamp trims and gaskets. Hope this info is of some use?

Result!! Many thanks everybody for the advice.
Contcted the Alpine club and they put me onto sunbeamalpinetigerspares.co.uk . They have the gaskets at about £15.00 each plus postage. Ordered a pair and will report on quality when received.
