    Interesting picture you posted, welcome to this forum !

    Those parts, the globe cage studs and carry handle nuts are not parts that are normally chanced.
    I don't know if they are available other then a donor globe cage

    Thank you for the warm welcome and the reply
    If I don’t manage to find The replacement parts, I will find another housing and swap it

    Hi! Is the threaded part broken off? Looks like it in the third pictures.
    On a lantern I fettled once and the threaded pin was missing, I silversoldered a screw to replace it. The part for a Optimus 200P lantern is availiable at fogas.se, maybe it Will fit?
