Amazingly cheap too???
Bryanj:
One thing to add which i think has been mentioned is the bulbs, the common one has a torpedo shaped glass, is too long and will damage the jewel plastic or clock face.
The correct round bulb is available from Lucas and is a jag mk2 dash bulb, i have the number somewhere and will post it later

Does this work?

I used the Classic Led's for mine some are only 0.5 W with good lumens, colours also available to cut down glare. I went for Green Instrument lights.
It's horses for courses, some of these little soldering irons are quite good, they take a while to fully heat up, as long as there is enough heat capacity to get the solder to flow properly between the wire and the fitting they work fine.
My Weller is an eary 100 W version, you are not supposed to keep the trigger on full power for more than 5-10 seconds at a time. I tend to ignore this tbh. I don't do enough soldering to justify the later version that looks pretty handy if you can justify the cost.
My first ever soldering iron was the size of a coal fire poker, it took about 20 minutes to warm up, I think it was branded as Rawplug. It packed up after 25 years. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235874490230
