Headlight Bulb

[David.H]

Stuart, as you are looking at headlights, perhaps you can shed some light on my enquiry!!
My 1932 AG tourer (short chassis, later Chummy styling) has a pair of 7" headlamps that have sort of been converted to double dipping using BPF bulbs & sidelights. However the reflector is 6 3/8" diameter, so fits where it almost touches!
I don't know if the 7" shells & rims are original (plain flat glasses held in with W clips) I cannot see any numbers ... they are still on the wings. My feeling is that they are later.The rims have the triangular "flap" at the bottom, but there is no matching fitting inside the shell, although there is a slot cut out in the right place to take the other part of the fitting with the appropriate external nut & bolt. My rims therefore just clip over the bowl & are held in by hope alone!
I would like to have double dipping, do you know if there is a suitable reflector? or otherwise an original type (part number?) available
The shells are in reasonable condition, no paint, just brass & have had decent repairs in the past; they are held onto the wings with solid bolts, the wiring coming in through a hole in the bowl that may be original!
Thanks in anticipation.....

Good morning David. Apologies for the delay in replying. Austin 7 headlamps are nominally 6.5" diameter, 7" suggests the common Lucas 700 series so any reflector made for these should fit your lamps. Have a look at the Paul Goff website as he might have what you are looking for.

Thank you Stuart. Helpful comments & useful website. I will see if I can find a pair of 7" reflectors only with pilot lights as I want to keep the flat glasses. At least I have an idea of what I need now!
