Don't forget the adapter kits that used to be made that would allow the common size headlamp lens/reflector from the likes of Morris Minors to be fitted onto A7 headlight shells......the kit outer rims were thicker to take the smaller lens and still have right large diameter to fit A7 shell. Perhaps domed lens in that case?
I had them on my first Nippy EJ 4322 in the late 60s.....much improved lighting for traveling at speed......oh car was 12V.....oh and it had a 948 BMC Morry Minor engine......oh and Morry hydraulics....oh and the twin spring IFS from engineering firm in Ottery St Mary Devon. Last seen disappearing into distance with new owner and girlfriend (or wife)....I did warn him that the king pins were probably broken in 3 places as it was the stubs with the longer thiner king pins that had been used!!!!!. I can confirm a recon gold seal BMC 948 engine will do 9,000 rpm......oh, yes, it had an electronic rev counter. Wonder if they ever made it home........car seems to have disappeared - perhaps into oblivion.
