It would be helpful if you put your (approximate) location! - at least what country!

Thanks

As a guide price, Moss are charging £50 apiece for new ones, plus about another £25 a side if you want all the brackets as well. So I would say £95 is a little bit steep for an exchange, even if they are original.

Where have you tried? The Frogeye Spares Co have some listed for £40 each and a complete kit for £130.

Cheers R.

Yes, I've seen all those, inc the ebay US ones (they are too dear!)
Don't need brackets just o/riders.

Moss and Frogeye Spares roughly the same price as Moss includes vat, whereas Frogeye S excludes vat.
I have a Moss 2003 brochure and they were £42.30 ea. then -so have increased about 17% in 6 years.

I just thought someone might have a pair kicking around (ever hopeful!) I recently spotted a pair on an MG site for £30 in vgc. Guy had just sold them. Still kicking myself Smiley

Geeeleven,
Is your Frogeye on the photographic database of UK registered Mk1 Sprites?
