Headlamp mounting on wing?

Happy New Year everyone. I've bought a secondhand front wing for my series 2, but it doesn't have the metal ring around the inside of the headlamp hole for the bucket to fix into. Can these be had separately, or can I remove the old one from my old wing? If so how? Am I being even thicker than usual?

i beleive they were spot welded on the inside, you could try and get the old one off and try and spot weld it on your newer wing, or maybe just fix the bucket with bolts and nuts on the wing
idf not then the wing is no good

I know it's not listed as minor but i believe this is what you need (part 002 in the diagram) It's pretty much the same part for fords with 7 inch lamps to, as I got mine off a friend who had them amongst his various ford bits.

Thanks Steve, but the link opens a list not a diagram, which section do I need?
