Headlight Reflector - New or Old

[Flintlockshooter]

I took out the headlamp reflectors and was able to polish one nicely. The other seems to be made of plastic or junk fiberglass, and the coating will come off with just finger pressure. Real trash
With all the discussion about repop junk, I see I must have "inherited" some of that when purchased.
Are the reflectors available from the vendors like Snyder's OK to use, or should I try and get a original? ( which I have no real idea how to get except eBay perhaps ). I'm only guessing if the other is original or not, but it is at least metal with a decent coating.
Thanks for any advice !

Bert's probably has original reflectors, and might even have restored ones.

My suggestion would be to get either Bratton's "new, made to original Ford print reflectors, with aluminized coating and sealed" (about $90 /pair), or find yourself some original Ford reflectors and have them resilvered.

Do not waste your money on the chrome-plated reproduction reflectors.

Thanks for both tips. I took Tom's advice and called Bert's - they had a nice resilvered original and its on its way.
