Series2 headlight bezels

[Oddbrit]

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

Post a pic of the bezel you have.

When you say bezel, are you also referring to the bowls?

Lucas or Cibie?

I would upgrade the lamps.

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.

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).

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.

A couple suppliers I've used in the past:

https://www.holden.co.uk/c/electrical/lighting/headlamps

Does it look anything like this one? This is from a Morgan flat radiator model from the 50's.

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..

Cheers W.
