The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay Headlight wire clips ?

Hello,

at the moment I am installing the headlights at my 1952 Chevy. In one of the boxes which came with the car I found "headlights ring rubber seal retaining wire clips" like you can see here : http://www.oldchevytrucks.biz/47_55/full.asp?page=65 But : How and where have I use them ?
I have also a problem with the brand new headlight chrome ring. At the bottom there is a hole for the screw to hold it at the bucket but there is no hook or so to fasten it at the top of the bucket.

Can someone help me ?

Thank you.

Tom

On my 38 one style holds the reflector in the housing and the other holds the lens in the bezel.

Tom,

I think your chrome rings are sort of like my 46.

The rubber seal goes into the chrome ring where it contacts the headlight. The spring clips are used to hold the seal in the chrome ring. One of the spring clips is bent such that it leaves a portion of it hanging down that you hook into the slot at the top of the headlight bucket. Then screw it in at the bottom.

Hope this helps
George

Hello,

thanks for your answers.

@ George : OK, I understand... hmm, is there a photo around where I can see it how it works ?

Thank you

Tom
