Default Pershing headlights

Hello all, Anyone know of a place to get a set of Pershing headlights? I have Elmod Pershing from Tankwars and a coffe table hit my tank while I was not looking. May try to build a set so I am open to suggestions on how. Never have built anything for tank . I have a dremel tool for ...tools and a soldering gun. lol
Thanks for listening.
Be well,
David

Well, the Tamiya Sherman and Pershing both used the same front headlights so that's an option. Or an aftermarket set like this http://www.etoarmour.com/product_det...oductID=SH0019 in metal is an another option.

David, assume you also need the brush guards. Don't believe these metal headlamps come with them. I can give you a hand making the guards after next week.

Jeff...does Tamiya also sell the headlamp sprues separate? Have may be able to order them.

Yes, after deadly Nazi lawn hazards ruined a Pershings head lamp, I went here to find Tamiya Parts and look under "RC Parts Listings" at the top of the page:

Correct Bill and Jeff.It is the guards I need. Looks like I will have to fabricate them. I will try this. Don (torpedo Chief) has offered to assist me as well.
Thanks all for the help and links.

Mato used to give them away for free. I had the same problem and on one of my Mato orders I just asked for a couple.

Thanks YHR, Never thought of just asking for them. It was Elmod and a rouge tree stump that leaped into my path. Phil at Tankwars mentioned I would have to watch out for those rouge trees.lol Thanks for your response and help.
Be well,
David
