Another thread to consider is "British Standard Brass".

Brackets are correct for MK1 pre-facelift capri.  Lights should be odd for Australian delivery 1 is spread beam and 1 is pencil beam.  There are companies that rechrome reflectors, there is a guy down here called Decor Engineering who can split rechrome and re-assemble your lights

Thanks John, I will follow up as seems silly not to install them when every other part is perfect.
What I want to know is what fools decided to create so many different threads, rail gauges etc.
I was perusing (aka; drooling over) the Rocket catalog recently and they list an AN (Army/Navy) thread. Just when I thought I'd seen them all.

I was led to believe the multitude of threads and Rail Gauges stemmed from individual companies that didn't want their products to be "common" and easily adapted/copied to fit various fittings into the opposition's goods, just like early Railways from over 100 years ago, were all private and independent and wanted to protect their Line from being used by other Rail Operators who would have just transferred their rolling stock & Locos (after changing bogies), onto their adversary's Line and gain more delivery distance. They could never come to an agreement as one Line would ALWAYS be longer or shorter and quarrels broke
out before any hope of resolution could be had, plus the Lines with longer track routes sought compensation from those with shorter Lines, plus how important or serviceable one Line was over the next. No solution was ever found.
So they all went their separate ways and created separate gauges all over Australia by the hundreds. None lasted very long. Now all gone.
SCREWTHREAD FOOLISHNESS WAS BAD ENOUGH  ..  RAIL FOOLISHNESS HISTORY SAW SO MANY LIVES & FORTUNES LOST
At Sorrento near the end of the Mornington Peninsula on top of the cliff overlooking the Ferry Terminal, there is a saved section of Rail plus a Memorial of the actual line that ran somewhere nearby, with no connection to the established line that reached as far as Red Hill.  If anyone's interested, I can dig up photos I took when our Car Club (Mornington Peninsula Historic Vehicles Club) crossed the the "Rip" to Queeenscliff to join in festivities with another Club, which alternates each year when they come over to our side. Photo will show details on the Memorial Plaque, plus pics of Station and Line. 
The most successful and ever-financial line in Victoria to this day is the extension to Lysaghts Steel Mill near Hastings.
 
 

Hi All,
Well after a bit of a break I got back to the lights, thread turned out to be 1/2" BSF (British Standard Fine). The thread certainly didn't look particularly fine, but that's what it was. Not the sort of thing you can buy at your local big green shed. Couldn't find anything in the Riverland and so had a sound around in Victor Harbour whilst down there for a few days and after being redirected a few times found some at a small workshop where the owner turns up his own stuff on a lathe and just happened to have some 1/2" BSF nuts in a box that he eventually found. Bingo. One of the fastener shops in Adelaide advertised British threads including BSF, so I did have a fall back. Hope the info. is useful.

Hi Timmo,
Yes mate good to know. I will have to drag my lights out and resurrect them

Thanks Timmo, good to know.

Hi all and hope you're all well and firing on all cylinders !
Whilst on this subject, does anyone please have pictures &/or descriptions &/or part numbers of what Driving Lamps were Genuine Ford Australia versions for 1972 GT Capri, or were only the UK ones used over here ?  I'm very impressed with the Bosch Germany DL on mine, but they could go on another of mine if I ever find oem DL for "Stephanie"
cheers
