We're homing in on the end of lamp bosses on UK OTP bikes, by 1984 Dawes seemed to have dropped them and fitted dynamo brackets to the light tourer model, and the Galaxy acquired a front rack making fork mounted lights impossible.
By 1980, our house switched to the new Wonder lights which clamped to the bars and didn't explode when you hit a bump, Ever Ready quickly brought out a competitor product (Night Rider) and the lamp boss became redundant.
