Are headlight parts available?

Post by RobFrost »

I bought some original RHD headlights to go into my 1970 911T US import, but one of them has a couple of missing parts - are any of these available? They're both from the same side and they're the mountings either side of the internal reflector.

Firstly, a long bolt whose centre section is a spring so it bends back on itself.

And secondly a folded flange that a bolt goes through and fixes to the inner reflector.

[edit] I tried to attach the images at 800px wide x 500px high but whichever way I rotate the images it says they're 800px high which is too big!

I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.
