Oddbrit Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Does anyone know of a source (or were they used on other British cars) of the chrome headlight bezels for a Series 2 car?\ Thanks in advance, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MV8 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Post a pic of the bezel you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamScotticus Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) When you say bezel, are you also referring to the bowls? Lucas or Cibie? I would upgrade the lamps. Edited June 11 by IamScotticus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddbrit Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 I'm talking about the chrome ring that surrounds the headlight bulb for Lucas headlights. Attached are some photos. It appears to be held on by a screw clip at the top and a riveted bracket the slips in a slot at the bottom. Any help would be appreciated.

MV8 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) Those rings are in fantastic shape. Easily resurfaced with "chrome polish" or other metal polish by hand. Like new and original. Looks like a typical motorcycle ring versus a buggy type. Looks like these rings may fit (different design bucket included). https://www.classicbritishspares.com/collections/triumph-electrical/products/universal-7-chrome-headlight-bucket-triumph-bsa-matchless-cafe-racer-custom or https://www.ebay.com/itm/355286584384?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1_pyzIYsrS9WUVYL_PFGUWg73&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-213727-13078-0&mkcid=2&itemid=355286584384&targetid=4580702894586619&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=418640321&mkgroupid=1233652283797640&rlsatarget=pla-4580702894586619&abcId=9300602&merchantid=51291&msclkid=4723886e962416b7c11eee075997b81e Edited June 12 by MV8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Budlite Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Can you take one apart and take a photo of the back side mounting arrangement? It could be similar to the chrome rings used on other British cars from the 60's. MG's, Triumph's, Austin-Healey's, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Budlite Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) A couple suppliers I've used in the past: https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/c/lighting https://www.holden.co.uk/c/electrical/lighting/headlamps https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/headlamps?pagenumber=1&viewmode=grid&pagesize=20&orderby=0 Does it look anything like this one? This is from a Morgan flat radiator model from the 50's. Edited June 12 by 11Budlite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdWills Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Hi Jim. If Holden doesn't have the Lucas headlamp rim, you could try Stafford Vehicle Components in the U.K. see: s-v-c.co.uk They sell a number of Lucas parts, and have a long list of headlamp spare parts and complete assemblies for sale. Search for 'Stoneguards and rims' or just 'Lucas headlamps'. I have no connection to the firm, just a very satisfied customer after they provided many 'original' (identical) electrical parts for my Seven..
