LR 9 lamps if you could get hold of them must have toured every scrap yard in Lancashire for them brilliant lamp and motorcycle batteries not today's sealed units had to top them up with distilled water or if you had none boiled water .and depending how you slung your battery either your coat was rotted or worse case scenario the arse of your pants .

The lr9 was easy to find, a lot of cars had them on the bumper. ??.

Good old lamp back in the Day. ( Or night lol)
