Re: just a couple of newbie quwestions
If I recall correctly, the orange 912 workshop manual has a reprint of the factory handbook included.
What year car are you looking to source headlamps for - is the car US spec at present?

Re: just a couple of newbie quwestions
Ian is right regarding the orange book available from amazon and the like. Here is a link to all sorts of wonderful documents including the workshop manuals
http://www.texas912.org/Technical%20Data%20Archive.htm
Headlights are seven inches for the 65-67 cars with the sealed unit headlights and the hella 19-20-21 clear glass covers. Not sue on the 68 sugar scoops lwb moved onto the glass lens and reflectors as far as I can ascertain.

Re: just a couple of newbie quwestions
You didn't expect that curved ball did you fellas......
To be honest (Bootsy) I think the unique 76E should have its own section. How about it?
Was the 76 912E not H4's ? I don't know, just asking...

Mike

I wasn't expecting an E!
H4's I'd have assumed for a 76 car

Re: just a couple of newbie quwestions
Would be great if you could bring your 912E to Stanford Hall ?
There are no E's currently in the 912 Display
Here's the link incase you hadn't seen it

Re: just a couple of newbie quwestions
Hey,
I can tell you from personal experience that yes they are the same as classic Mini lights. I couldn't afford to get the Hella's and wanted to get my 912E through its MOT quickly. Think I got some from Amazon for about £30.
