[T3] headlight rings

[Keith Park]

Yea, the real ones don't rust.  I have STACK of OEM SB12's, I only kept the
rings that werent rusty, Ill be half that stack only need rechroming and
don't have any damage.  Unfortunately, none have decent enough chrome for my
needs.

Well, Russ explained to me why SB 12 rings are sought after (the ones with  
SB 12 and Hella stamped in them). They were made of brass, then chromed. 
This is  why they don't rust out like the later versions (of the same style 
ring) do. I  know 3 years ago I paid 25 bucks for 1, but that was because I 
already had 1(for  my 71 Notch). Rob picked 1 up at the vintage show for 5 
bucks a couple of years  ago too, as the seller didn't know it was worth 
anything. : ) They're still out  there, just have to know where to look for
the 
deals. I think I paid 10 bucks  for a euro ring at the same show (to replace

my dented 1). Never thought  I'd see that ring in a parts bin in the swap 
meet section (for cheap), but there  it was. : )
