Facebook is ok just don't post your life history there like some do,you use Google it's a lot worse than F/B for tracking your every move lol I Google nothing .As far as bus fix (bus service) somebody told me John the owner passed away last year,I have never been able to confirm if he did or not,John had a huge inventory of old bus parts when I was there
There are multiple ways to reduce tracking by the big tech sites. Browsers have incognito mode that eliminates tracking cookies. Use another search engine than Google search. Do not log into Google account to reduce tracking. Numerous other strategies if you care.


Use Google to search how to not be tracked. lol

Not sure how all this has anything to do with the thread or my finding the lenses for the marker lights.

I'm not really interested in getting into a lengthy conversation about the merits of FB, our network configuration, or of why I am or am not using FB.

I understand that not everyone will agree with the decision, but how about we get back to the topic at hand here, our buses and how to keep them running down the road as well as possible.

The lead I got from the guy on BGM about the lenses on FB didn't pan out. Seems like the guy wants to keep the lenses for his bus.

There is a possibility that I've found two sets of lenses, but they are both for the same side of the bus. At least it's a start. If that works out I'm halfway there, and I might even have a duplicate to sell if anyone else needs. I'll know for sure later today hopefully if I've got them locked in.

Which side?

If the ones I am trying to nail down work out, I'll be covered for the front-left and the rear-right.

I'll still need the front-right and left-rear.

Figured I might as well get a whole set - if two are failing the other two are not going to be far behind, and once moisture starts getting in there troubles will surely follow.

Front right get eaten by tree branches, those are the tougher ones to locate.

Facebook is unmoderated and there's a lot of really stupid info on there amongst interesting bits.

Happy coaching!

I still have a good (without a step ladder) on the upper right.Probably has the fine cracks that they get without climbing up.

Is that one an 'extra' on a parts bus? If so, hold that thought for just a bit until I see what comes up in the coming weeks of searching.

Yes is on the parts coach. My conversion was  Eagle capped by former owner and uses off the shelf clearance lamps.

I've exhausted my leads for now. I've secured NOS replacements for all but the amber front right corner. Initially I thought that I only had one lens with problems, but as I made my way around I realized that all four were going bad and letting moisture in.

So, I'm going to take you up on this so that I have something up there which has a hope of keeping things dry. I'll send a PM with my contact information.

Amazing how a lens can look so good but have so much damage behind the scenes. Glad I noticed all this before one just fell apart down the road.
