I am re-assembling BDR #101 following the damage caused by the Phoenix trash truck backing into my drivers-side front end (OUUCCHH!!!).
A new front end and left fender were fabbed in S. Africa (thanks Reg!) and a super repair specialist did a great job in fitting the new pieces and finishing the car with a paint job that is super! Reg sent me a new headlight assembly with the same serial numbers as the damaged headlight. The new assemlby fits OK, but, unfortunately, the chrome ring that fits over the headlight and up to the rubber gasket between the chrome ring and the fiberglass body is thinner by 3/16 of an inch. The replacement chrome ring is metal and the original damaged ring was chromed plastic.
Does any one know where I can get a proper-fit chrome headlamp ring? I heard that the headlight assembly was off of a VW--any confirmation on this? I have contacted Reg, but he has not responded back yet!
