[T3] headlight rings

[Keith Park]

Thanks for the clarification Bob, I think I can picture it now even without
the parts book.  I think Ill keep the sealed beams, Im cheap... and its
already been converted and then use the Euro rings for look as they are in
good shape and for some reason standard SB12's seem to be ungodly expensive
Considering how many are out there, (and the fact they are pretty cheap to
re-chrome).

Of course, maybe they don't Sell at those prices.

Anywho... onto painting the LR fender, the last painting left be be done!

Keith

Ok,  since things are slow,
My euro rings are 311 941 111

Since they are  not SB12  what SB are they??



They're not an SB. They are standard parts (for Europe).
The parts book calls them out as either 311 941 039 E, or 312 941 039 E  
(headlamp, asymmetrical, left or right hand traffic only Bosch), or 311 941 
039  F, or 311 941 039 D Hella version (M 187). These assemblies include the

following, outer ring (with 3 screws (2 adjusting)), sealing ring (like an 
"O"  ring), glass lense (for either right or left hand traffic), adjuster 
ring,  reflector, and bulb holder (without bulb). Basically just the ring is

part  number 311 941 111 (#18 in the parts book), and you still need ALL of 
the other  parts listed above to complete the assembly (1), plus the light 
bulbs and other  hardware like the locking clips to attach the reflector to
the 
adjuster ring,  tabs for the adjusters, and the plastic spacers for both 
the adjusters (on the  outer ring), and the fender attaching screw.
 
Your best bet IF you want to return your car to using this style of  
headlight, is to contact the 1500 Club, and see IF someone has a pair of  
assemblies they'll sell you (won't be cheap either). I hope this helps.
