MikeC5 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Has anyone got a good photo or two of how those clips are supposed to fit on the headlight buckets? (to secure the reflector and rim). I don't want to mangle them... There is a photo in one of the old D.B. Club newsletters but it isn't quite clear enough to see this detail..

Pete K. Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Here you go Mike. A bit rusty with it being a parts lamp for the '25, but the clips, flat spring and other parts all there. The outer nickel rim has the brackets inside it to align with the bucket "hooks" shown in photos. Press hard equally down on rim and turn rim CCW 10 degrees to lock it under the hooks and reflector. Voila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Thanks Pete. Mine are different unfortunately.... I'll post a photo of what I have tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayG Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Mike - These are from my 25 Roadster. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.White Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Mine are different too. If I get a chance I will post a photo of the clips; one of which has become detached and will need soldering back on. Mike, I know what you mean; I think these little devils are more tricky than they look. I found that just a little grease helps a lot when fitting the rim.Ray.Edit. Looks like Jay has just beat me to it. Mine are like that. Edited August 6, 2013 by R.White (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1936 D2 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Looks very much like an electrical part called a fahnestock clip.https://www.google.com/search?q=fahnestock+clip&safe=off&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS520US520&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=kKcBUsvDGKSniQKrnoGwAg&ved=0CDgQsAQ&biw=1229&bih=589 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.White Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Top marks for that link 36 d2. The fahnestock clip certainly looks similar but is not quite the same. It might be a suitable replacement for a lost original though. Great stuff.Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
