Guest Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 The headlight rims on my 24 DB are significantly cracked. Is this a common problem with these cars? Does anyone know if reproduction rims are available somewhere, or if the rims are repairable? Thanks, Gus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leadfoot Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Several ideas -1. There are no reproductions that I know of for DB headlight rims. However, you can have new ones spun out of brass and nickle plated.2. I have seen repair articles in Skinned Knuckles that suggest using silver solder to fill in the cracks. I know some restorers who have used this method, and didn't need to replate because the solder can be polished to blend in.3.

Alex-Houston Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 I have seen several headlight rims at all the swap mets I have attended. I have bought several for $20 with the glass lenses. All need plating but are in good condition. I don't want to part with my spares but go to the pre-war swap meets and you can find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
