FC Headlight surrounds

[JayJay]

G'day Everyone,

Headlight surrounds... are they all made of the same material?

I thought the "painted from factory" ones were steel... is this the case?

Thanks for your help!

All the same material.
Regards
Alex

Jay Jay ..search here on this forum concerning the chrome headlight surrounds , I think you will find there were two makers , if my memory is correct one type is Lucas and the other GMH ( Nasco )..They are slightly different internally , can interchange buts it not exact , in my case FC Special sedan we did both guards with the one test piece ( a unchromable one but good internally ) , but when fitting up the two good ones , one was excellent just like the test sample , the other not quite right , sitting proud by about 1.5 mm ..learned why on this forum and hunted around and got another ..Vern ..

Hi Jay Jay,
Yes they are all Zinc Die Cast material. There are ones that suit Lucas headlights and ones that suit Bosch headlights.
Cheers
