Next question getting close to the end, I think! of my 2A/RR hybrid and I'm at the headlight stage, mine is a '68 one of the last with the headlights in the radiator panel and the back ring in which the light unit sits is rotten, apparently these are made of unobtainium.
I was assured by the man at Paddocks that the Lucas Bowl kit they supply would rectify this situation, however, when I unpacked them I fail to see how they can be mounted in my radiator panel, they are clearly intended for the earlier type where they mount from the front with a big chrome ring over the adjusters.
The adjusters on the new parts are on a different PCD so don't line up with the three holes in my panel so I can't even use a combination of old and new parts to make them fit.
Is there a workaround for this or am I going to have to return these and try to repair my original rings which are quite well gone?
