Also might not be ! They are different on different models apparently.

aerodinamically-speaking, the tall section goes towards the rear and the low section towards the front.
in practice, the tall section is for the driver to see the turn signals are flashing, but if that was not neccesary, then the aerodynamics prevail, because why would you create a drag-inducing element by placing the tall section facing forward??

Hey Jose, on the point of aerodynamics, have you seen the great big lump these little red aerofoils are sat on top of ?
I like your thinking though, not sure a Mk2 would perform that well in a wind tunnel test !

Hi Jose,
I have started the cam covers, found a big groove in one of them poss from an HT lead sat on them in the damp and corroding away nicely !
Had them tig welded on Friday, so will post a thread when I have them a bit further on.
I've been busy getting the rest of the car back to bare metal, so had quite a bit to do !

I grew up with an XK140 and a MKII and they both were installed as pictured. I have shown cars throughout the United States and installed all mine this way. I agree with the aerodynamics, but on some models these let you know where the front corners of the car were. some did blink. To me, if you can see the marker plainly from the driver's seat at night, it is installed correctly. The JCNA, the Concours regulators for the States approve mounting either way, as there are so many arguments on the subject. All books from England actually show the original cars with the telltales mounted this way. Some MKIIs had white ones.

See this, use a rag in the lens hole in case you drop it, with out the rag, it is impossible to fish the clip out if you drop it, and you will.
Fit the clip on the lens first and make sure it does just that before attempting to install it.
Use a little clear silicon to seal the marker.
