A couple of months ago, I ran across a small supplier that sold repro headlight buckets. Not a complete kit but just the buckets for about $145 for a pair of 28-29. For the life of me, I can't find them again. Getting tired of running 30-31's on my 29.

Any help is always appreciated,
Pete

you will likely be happier with originals. they're out there.
saw more than one pair at the Mountaineer Swap last weekend.
selling the 30-31s you have should offset at least part of the cost.
j.m.h.o.......

There are several entrys for new repo headlights currently on eBay. See link below. I have purchased several pairs at local swap meets and have had them replated. The replating in nickel was pricy. Gar Williams

I think you could have them chrome stripped for very little money. Chrome usually has nickle under it and copper under the nickle.

I've got a pretty nice set off a 31. Buckets & rings, new ring spring hold downs not installed. How about $60? I can send you picts.

Let me know,
Banky

I appreciate the offer Banky but I'm looking for 28-29's. I'll poke around Ebay and see what I can find. I hate to spend the money on re-chroming etc. until I tackle other priorities (like paint).
I really appreciate the input guys!
Thanks!
Pete
