    I bought 2 of the new style reflector kits from Bob Drake a few years ago and I was amazed how well they work, gone is the shiny aluminum reflector and it has been replaced with a chrome plated plastic reflecter that when in use there is no shadows like the original headlights cast, but when I tried to order another set Drakes has been out of stock for several years.

    Anyone know of another source? HRP

    Danny, what did you do with the other set?

    I do know that the lights on your 1932 pickup were real bright, almost as bright as the new cars.

    John, I gave the other set to Dave when he was building the Confused 32/34 pickup, He was trying to get it on the road and they were out of stock, they still are.

    I want to install a set in my old beater Deuce sedan. HRP
     
  4. I've been watching their site, off and on, for a few years now, for their 33/34 reflectors of same design.
    Nothing, ever.

    I would try CW Moss. Maybe Early Ford Store. The last set of reflectors I bought were for my Model A. Those came from Brattons.

    As far as I know they have not been made in the last 10 years I do not know the reason why it would be nice to have a set done with the original reflecting aluminum something or Silver tone ?
    but in a metal design . Instead of the plastic
    The Drakes put the bulb in correct location to the flutes
