Having received the somewhat tatty headlamp reflector that i bought off ebay some weeks ago from Stuart Joseph, who has made a super job of refurbishing it, I have, after twelve months of ownership and talking about the conversion for almost as long, converted the RP to double dipping headlamps. The reflectors are not a pair, as the 'old' one on the nearside takes a 15BA double filament bulb and the newly refurbished one takes a 20BA Lucas Graves type bulb. Maddeningly, the lamps now dip at slightly different angles, which made setting them up quite fun. However, having found a nice quiet lane that was reasonably straight and flat (something of a rarity round here), I have managed to find a suitable compromise headlamp aim.
At least my dipped beam is now visible when modern cars come up behind me!
No photos, I'm afraid. Like cats, all Austin Sevens look grey in the dark!
