Headlamp rims.
Hi..
Does anyone knows if there's a difference on the original headlamp rims. Or are They all the same?
Was told that it was written in a lucas list that a rim i was looking at will fit a mini 850 from 60-62?
All the best

Re: Headlamp rims.
I have read about one change. The type with the rivet (holding a locating lug) at the top stopped in early '66 (maybe with the sealed beam change) and from then on, the type with the fake rivet was used.

Re: Headlamp rims.
I thought about that too 66S, but as I couldn't remember when they went to the fake rivet I didn't post yesterday.

Re: Headlamp rims.
Hello
Be careful if you buy a repro..
I bought a headlamp rim pair for my mk1,
I tried to fit about 2 hours and finally I made a scratch on the paint..
I put it in the garbage and I bought 2 used headlamp rims, I fitted it within 3 minutes!

Re: Headlamp rims.
A couple of years ago, maybe ten (
) you could buy aluminium headlamp rims. Are these still available somewhere?
I've only got a couple.

Re: Headlamp rims.
Theese are original. And can see the pin on the top of it. So there should be no problem with theese??
