thanks

Brian

Re: Headlight Help!!!

hey guys,

i guess I should have said that I need the AD 47-54 style. thanks for the help. I looked at the ones on ebay, they are for the 55-57. It says that they carry ones for the 49-54 but the picture still shows the 55-57 style. I will give them a call tomorrow. couldnt find anything on ecklers website.

thanks again

brian

Re: Headlight Help!!!

I ended up having to machine my own.... those damn tabs kept breaking off... basically just a brass rectangular block with a slot cut down the sides... still a pain none the less, but no tabs to bust off!

Cheers,
Ted.

Re: Headlight Help!!!

hey ted,
i think thats the direction im going to take. I have a huge block of aluminum that Im going to cut mine out of. I found a cracked one in a box of left over parts from my dads build. Maybe this another thing that you can fab up and start selling!!! thanks again for the wiper parts. looking forward to installing them.
