Title: Re: Head light buckets FC Post by: smithy on August 01, 2008, 08:40:15 PM what is the difference between the two buckets?
i know there are slight differences with the headlight rims but was unaware of buckets. i'll check in the morning when the temperature gets above zero ;) Title: Re: Head light buckets FC Post by: mcl1959 on August 01, 2008, 10:37:58 PM Everything is different, the hole where the wires go through, the screws where the headlight bolts on, the shape is different and the rubber seal on the back is different. You can't buy them new, but NOS ones do turn up - especially Lucas ones as they were common to other cars of the era.

is there anything special i should be looking for? cheers dean Title: Re: Head light buckets FC Post by: mcl1959 on August 02, 2008, 12:16:57 PM The hole in the back for the wires is roughly 1 inch for Lucas and 1/2 inch for Bosch
Ken Title: Re: Head light buckets FC Post by: smithy on August 02, 2008, 06:26:05 PM hi john, looks like its definately a bosch unit.
thanks ken for the clarification.. dean Title: Re: Head light buckets FC Post by: mcl1959 on August 02, 2008, 08:13:26 PM I have some Lucas headlight buckets if you need them. I went and had a look at them today - the Lucas buckets have "LUCAS" stamped on them, but Bosch have no markings.
