Well, my rant earlier in "off topic" looks to have paid off. I got a final prototype of a part and was able to assemble a complete headlight! This is the 65-67 USA type assembly... and you need this if you're going to put in any 7" bulb setup be it my Cibie B-iode, vintage Marchal/Carello whatever, or perhaps even an LED/SMD bulb setup.
These will now get final test fitting, but it's my old chrome trim rings (chrome plated brass) from the same manufacturer, so they should fit just fine. We (Rene and I) had new buckets and bulbs holders made out of the correct thickness of metal, bulb holder is zinc'd, color of the bucket is dead on perfect. Though we didn't need to, we did a welded seam on one side of the larger bucket piece so it looks oem... and did the correct drain hole style.
The glass is a special version of the SB 19 20 21 with no "HELLA" logo so I can advertise them, but I have stock in the correct version with the Hella logo if somebody wants that upgrade.
We did the longer screw, and both adjusters are slotted version, not sure if I will ever get the slotted version of the attachment screw (not holding my breath) but I do have the phillips version going with the light.
The bulb holder "clips" have the original style circular ends on them.
I also did 3 different "dates" of the date code
Price? Unknown till I get all parts on hand, but at this time they will be sold with Bi-iodes only as a complete setup.
tks,
E
