Does anyone know If these headlamp reflectors are available for my Flatnose morris?
The 2 pin bayonet bulb fitting has disintegrated and I dont think i can repair it.

Thanks
Mike

This may be of some help. kieth@ardley8142.fsnet.co.uk

He re-silvered two headlamp reflectors for my project. Excellent work. He has squillions of other reflectors, you may find he has the ones you need.

Cheers, Tony. Very Happy

I can endorse Tony, Kith Ardley does a fabulous job resilvering reflectors. I've had several done by him. All a first class job.

Mike,

Nice work!

The only suggestion I would make is to put a slot and clamp on the bushing. As you are probably aware the method of focusing these lamps is to move the bulb in or out.
