Hello All,
Thought to ask who might know of a set of headlamp innards ( reflectors, lamp sockets ( dining or otherwise ) ) for the 8" Lucas 140 headlamps on my 1935 Le Mans.
Of course it would be Lovely if the reflectors didn't need re-silvering, but Anything that's sound and not crooked or crinkled would be a wonderful starting point.
Also, 'while we're in there', does anyone know a source of high quality headlamp protecting screens of the hinged design?
Thanks very much in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.
Kind Wishes all 'round, and for the US contingent, Happy Thanksgiving,
David

Although, as Mike says, "They did not cost the earth...they cost the Earth, the Moon and part of Mars also."

Hi David,
I'm not sure if you sourced your headlamps but I got mine from Austin Repro. I don't know if they still do the full range. Vintage Supplies have a new range out also. Any opportunity to include a photo of my car:
