How to restore Model A headlights
I have a 1931 Model A de lux coupe. I am trying to restore the headlights. They are a bit rusty and in need of work. How do I remove the conduit? Any advice on this and the restoration of these will be most appreciated.

Re: How to restore Model A headlights
The original headlights on a '31 Deluxe Coupe were made of Stainless Steel and can be cleaned up and polished/buffed to a beautiful luster finish. The conduits can be removed by rotating the outer collar and pulling it down. Simular to removing a tail light bulb.

MAG is correct about the buckets being stainless steel. When you said "rusty" I assumed you were talking about the regular steel parts that attached to the stainless buckets. The one piece of advice I have is to buy reflectors from Bratton's Ford Parts, (301) 829-9880. They invested the money in the tooling to become the only source of high quality reflectors. Can you post pictures? Charlie Stephens |

I agree with what Charlie about the Bratton's reflectors. They were one of the best purchases I ever made for my daily driver.
