Hi Kev,

Give Mike Hill a ring. I bought some original bowls from him.

Once you have the original Ford 7in mounting rings for the headlight buckets you can pretty much fit any 7in H4 headlamps that you like? Or is there some unusual non standard headlamp mounting for UK cars?

On fleabay:

(start saving ...)

These fit the plastic bowls (early cars, RS1800 had metal ones) without the need for mounting rings. The long bolts in the bowls can seize up.

Are they Left or Right Hand drive?

Does anyone make replicas of the 7in Frame rings? I was sure someone was putting them out at some point?

LHD so not really suited to UK.

These were advertised not that long ago, Carello Halogen RHD.

Were they very expensive? I have some RHD ones in boxes but never put them on for that reason.

Don't think so, they were marked as sold. You could look on fleabay in sold parts.
