[Tigers] Headlamp Bucket

[Joe Brown]

Thanks to Patrick King and Robert Neeley for the quick responses.  

I was just digging through my ziplock bags of rusted stuff and it looks like
my headlamp rims were of the snap-on variety because I found two snap-on
clips that fit into the buckets.  My replacement buckets have a clip for the
screw-on rims and my old snap-on clips will fit into the same slots.

I'm a little confused because my Book of Norman says that Sunbeam went to
the screw-on style with the B947/B948 cars.  Mine is a B382.  

Thanks,

Originally these were mounted with three rivets.

Hey,

 

How does the headlamp bucket attach to the body?  My body guy is about ready
to start shooting paint but he wants to mount the headlights to make sure
everything lines up.  I've got a pair of new buckets and gaskets but I'm not
sure how they attach to the body.  Sheetmetal screws?  What size?

 

Thanks,

Joe Brown
