Perhaps no one knows.  Peels are old news these days anyway, Scootacars are the big thing from now on.
Try the Peel Register in Rumcar News as he must know.  Got a Trident to restore ?

Are they not Wipac 5 3/4" as were fitted to P50's. That's what mine had in '76. Bought from the makers. They fitted tractors as well. Early BSA Bantam ones fit also.

What do you want, a laxative or something to block them?  ;D

Could the bowls be the same as a Scootacar Mk I?

Scootacar head lamp bowls are now worth £50 each after that auction sale. Not that we are to know what they are off either I expect. Nothing like clubbing together for mutual help is there? I see there is a rather nice Saab for sale.........
