Winter model headlight chrome ring sizing

Postby Freight10 » Mon Jul 13, 2020 4:38 pm

Hi all, after some info and advice. I have a winter model series 2 with the 50p headlight, anyway trying to source a new headlight chrome ring, I've tried sx, special and even 1 off of another winter model but nothing fits, so did they make more than 1 size of these ?? If so any ideas where I can get 1 please.

Thanks. Trevor.

Hi Toddy, I called buzz shop and its closed unfortunately due to the virus, the one that came with mine is a bad fitting sx one, so not a good fit at all..

I did toy with the idea of finding someone to braze a piece in it, but I'm saving that for a last resort..

Original Winter headlight rims are nigh on impossible to get hold of. You may get some success contacting some of the Spanish parts dealers.

Buzz sells one made by BOSETTA - which are supposedly the closest fit

You may still have to fettle a bit - but others have reported good results using them.

As others have said - Anthony is the person to speak to to put you in the right direction.
