    I have a set of early Auto Lamp model 430 headlamps that are in pretty good condition except for the trim/ retaining ring. these are rusty and pitted pretty badly. we do not have a chrome shop here in the state of Alaska. I was wondering if anyone knows of a source for replacements? I am planning on using these on my 29 roadster project. If no replacements are available, my choices are, 1- send them to the lower 48 states some where to be restored/replated, or 2- either paint, or powder coat them. any help , or suggestions would be appreciated , Thanks, -----Jim

    I will not be able to get any photos until later in the week, the headlamps are at my brothers shop 50 miles away. I will post some pictures as soon as I get into town and take some. There is one headlamp for sale on e-pay right now, but it is in much worse shape than mine, and they want $125.00 for it. I will admit that the trim ring is better than mine though. Thanks for your reply https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-MO...er-Ford/143027339141?hash=item214d17ff85:g:wM
