Does anyone have a parts listing for Lucas P100 headlamps. I'm particularly interested in where there are gaskets. The only one I have on my lamps is a 'U' sectioned one between the headlamp shell and the rim. I would think there would have to be one between the rim and the glass Confused

. Mine's has clear silicone there which I'm sure wasn't around in 1947.

Art,

I'm sorry but I don't have a P100 parts list and looking at my own lamps they don't appear to have any gasket between the glass and the front frame.
I have to admit though, that you might expect there to be a seal there.

Might be worth asking this lot what the stock http://www.vintage-headlamp-restoration.com/index.htm

Peter,

I asked them a couple of weeks ago and they referred me to Woolies. I got the impression that they don't want to share their parts sources. They offered to do a full restoration for £800.
