  • Avanti headlight round rings needed repaired or replaced

    I'm needing left and right outer rings (round) that hold the glass cover and seal to the body. I was installing headlights today and notice that the 3 rings I have are bent and/or broken. Does anyone know of a source for these or someone who repairs these pot metal pieces. If anyone has any spares that are in good shape I am a buyer.
    Thanks again for your help.

        You can repair the pot metal by filling in pits and there's a spray chrome process that will make them look better than new. Check with Jim McCaun.

            If you are referring to the exterior chrome rings, I do believe they are supposed to have a unique contour/bend to them which makes them not sit flat when removed and placed on a flat surface and the need to properly clock them to the contour of the body when reinstalling.

                  Dave has some here in S. Bend! I got some in May from Dave, fit and look great.

                    I noticed a used pair in the silent auction in the AOAI hospitality room this evening. IRC, they were up to $20. Auction closes on Thursday.
