1929 Headlight Ring.

[Canton_Model_A's]

Hi all!
Looking for a source for the outer ring for a 1929 Headlight bucket. I have looked at the main suppliers, (Snyder's, Mike's, Sullivan's) to no luck. Anyone here got a source that I could hit up for the part. Need 2 of them, as I am converting from Sealed-Beam back to original design.

Dave!

Have you tried Bert's in Denver (800) 321-1931 or Arizona Model A in Chandler, AZ (480) 782-0266?

Bert's was out of Stock. Arizona Model A's page goes to a parking page.

Sammy Guthrie is Arizona Model A. I'd try ringing him 480 782 0266 during business hours.
BTW, I am guessing that what you call a head light ring is actually a headlight Bezel.

Ok, further investigation has shown that on my 1929, it appears that the previous owner or before him has replaced the headlight assembly. It looks like a '30-'31 headlight that they did the sealed beam conversion on. They took out the original fluted glass and the only thing there was the sealed beam. I am starting to wonder if Bigsnapper's rings will fit the bucket. Am I completely off base here or did I bark down the right tree with my assessment.

ok, one of the suppliers got back to me this morning (Gaslight Auto) and they informed me that the 1928-1929 headlamps are unavailable. Anyone got a pair of '28-'29 headlamps hiding out anywhere? :-D

I have a pair of used originals for $65. They would need to be replated.

Any suggestions on a nickel re-plater that knows Model A headlamps? And can do a good job restoring?
