Headlight

Post by Tazmantic »

Hi acquired this headlight today any ideas what mare, model or bike it’s from? I’m presuming it’s missing the clamp from the bottom as well as a few other bits.

Cheers

From the shape of the switch and ammeter panel it looks the same the generic Lucas unit that was fitted by Triumph, BSA, AMC and maybe others.
I don't think I've seen that reflector/glass light unit before in any late 40's onward headlamp - especially the way the parking lamp bulb is fitted so maybe that's a 'cuckoo' unit that has been fitted into a Lucas headlamp shell.

Looks the same as WD reflector to me. Fat sidelight, headlight bulb adjustable in and out so it can be set at the best place for good beam all set on a keyhole bracket which is held in place by the wires on the reflector .
