Headlight Conversion Rings wanted

Post by Alan Stanley »

I am in the process of restoring a 1939 Jowett Ten and are looking to fit Lucas type 7 inch semi sealed lights
The Jowett 10 headlights are 8 inch and I notice most are converted to 7 inch by the use of a reducing adapter/rings. These may have been made by Lucas for this very purpose to upgrade the old headlights.

Does anyone have a set for sale to advise where they might be sourced

Thanks

I have a couple which were on my Kingfisher, but I've converted them back to the original 8 inch. You are welcome to them, but I hate to think what the postage would be to Australia!

Ken ...even farther New Zealand. Perhaps they can go in a package from JCS as they do send occasionally.
See what price you can get using a search website and compare with DHL or Fedex

Thank you to the members that have replied, I would certainly have taken up the offers. BUT We have a Javelin restoration , a Jowett 10 restoration, a Javelin on the hoist for maintenance and are building an engine for another Javelin on the bench at the Jowett Car Club New Zealand shed. So we were getting cluttered and last night we had a tidy up and came across a second set of Jowett 10 headlights WITH conversion rings and with 7 inch semisealed lights, so all is well.
Thanks for responding the system works.

If anyone else needs these feel free to contact the respondents.

Cheers

Alan
