Hi all, I have a headache.
I have this odd desire to be able to see where I am actually going at night, when Kitty is at last on the road, so have bought some new headlamps. I read up on the advice that to by the LUCAS branded units as many of the generic ones have proved poor quality. So I sorced a set of such from Ebay Part Nos LUB223 (outer) and LUB222 (inner) and yes they seem very nice with halogen logos on and all that.
Unfortunately the locating tabs don't match the inner mounting ring! Blast! Foiled again.
I don't really want to lose my original LUCAS bowls which are in good condition. 3 are original to the car with early steel adjusters though I had to replace the one for a later plastic adjuster unit as I couldn't save one of them ut it's still a LUCAS steel bowl.
Does anyone know if there is a correct inner ring for them? I don't want to use those plastic WIPAC ones with no inner mounting ring, just three tabs which look flimsy to me. Trying to alter the originals to work would be a painful project in it's self.
