Hi,
A work colleague has asked me to confirm if this (NOS) headlamp rim is for a Triumph Herald. I said I didn't think so but would take it home to compare against mine.
Needless to say I am now sure it isn't, my 1200's is much deeper, slightly squarer in appearance and the screw is on the inside edge.
The one pictured below is narrower, has a subtle point to the apex and has the fixing screw on the outside of the narrow bottom edge.
So what might it be for?
I'm thinking 1966 onwards Sunbeam Rapier or Alpine.....
But what do you think?
Best wishes,
Mike.
