Subject: Part Number Request for Headlight Buckets Trim

Anyone know what the part number is for the rubber spacer ring? ETK does not show this for the US spec headlights.

This part exists between the headlamp chrome-ish trim ring and the grille. So, you would have:

Headlamp > Headlamp chrome trim ring surround > "Rubber filler/spacer" > grille

I tried to show it in a pic of where it would be. If anyone knows I would appreciate it. It doesn't show up in the full parts catalog either.

Note: Pic shown is NOT my car, just using it for demo purposes so hopefully the owner doesn't mind :)

Subject: This part is used only on the pre mid-72 cars with

asymetric headlight trim rings and the deep headlight bucket grilles (prior to VIN 258-0165.) The parts book is hard to read, but it appears the part number is 63 12 8 650 109. Parts book shows it as "gasket" (pg 63-9) and the later retainer rings don't use a rubber gasket. IIRC the part has been NLA for years.

If it's not available, I think you can make a serviceable subsitute by going to a Home Depot/Lowes type place and buy a length of grey vinyl shower door bottom seal. That's the flexible sweep that's fixed to the lower edge of a shower door to keep water from leaking out while you're showering. Most glass shops have this also. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll bring a piece to you at V in V.

cheers
mike

I have a pair brand new. Bought them from Jaymic a while ago. They are gray colored. I think they are for Hella Euro style buckets but I am not sure. PM if interested.

Mike, Good info. Thanks. Sounds like Bluedevil has what I am looking for. It is indeed grey. I don't know how to PM you here but if you can just email me that would be great. Let me know what you want for them. Mars mars_mann@hotmail.com
