Mag restoration.

Try asking the Vintage Sports/Car Club of the UK. I am sure they will know several sources.
I had my Bosch D2B done by a German Engineer, there is quite a bit to the process.

This is not factory fitted

This is not factory fitted R12, possibly from a vehicle? But as prev said, during the war with shortages in parts supply, you will see

BMW R12 Reflectors

Some interesting images courtesy of WAF. The tail light is the Bosch JN7, note how different it is from the copies. Here we see clearly a reflector which is not the factory fitted one.

R12 Pannier Rack Pannier Clips

There are 2 clips, you'll see these on ebay Deutschland or one of the parts suppliers, such as Old Timer Garage.
The main issue with these copy racks apart from the detail accuracy is the arms are too long, so the bags hang in at an angle.
Dietmar mentioned this.
