dibarlaw Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Tony: The 1926-27 rims do not match the 1925s We have the faceted reflectors and clear lens. The 26-27s have Tilt Ray lenses. The mounting is different as the screws at the bottom of the rims show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Atkinson Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Also the 27s are smaller than the 26s, at least on the master series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidden_hunter Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 are they supposed to be nickle coloured, or was that an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27donb Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It is my understanding also that 1925 had clear glass lenses. 1924, and 1926-27 had fluted lenses. As others have stated, 1924 and 25 had left and right headlights, because of the high mounted crossbar on the light itself. 1926-27 had a crossbar mounted lower to the headlight fender mounting bracket, and the headlights were the same left and right. I believe 1924-25 had a bezel mounting screw that was not seen on the front of the bezel, 1926-27 had a visible screw at the 6 o'clock position. The screw should be slotted, not Philips as on the lights for sale. I believe all 6 cylinder cars had nickled headlight BEZELS, the buckets were either painted black or nickled depending on model and series. Some 1927 Sports and Master models also had rear nickled trim rings on the headlight and cowl light buckets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yes 1925 had "plan"clear glass lenses. 1924 had Osgood lenses,1926-1927 had Tiltray lenses.There are no mounting skrew on 1924-1925,the bezel itself are "skrewed" clockwise or anti clockwise.Leif in Sweden.
