    NOS Hella SB3 Complete Pair with brackets for buckets

    I thought this might be a good site to offer these parts to the discerning enthusiast. First, a little history. I bought my first Porsche in 1973, a '53 rust free coupe with a 1500S Hirth roller bearing crank. Got taken and paid $350 Sold it 3 years later to buy, for $2k, another '53 rust free survivor, though they weren't called that then, and made a whole $250 on the first one. Got that sucker didn't I, huh. In the ensuing years I acquired one more '53 coupe and thus helped a buddy get (another) rust free carcass out of his basement. And guess what? These two '53 356s just happened to be consecutive body numbers. 50661 and 50662. Yup, sold them to go to grad school. What a dumbass. At one time in the late 70s I was the Treasurer of the Conn Valley Region. I have owned a '64 911 (paid $300 and sold for a grand), a '67 912, a '73 T, a mid 70s euro cab, a 993 cab, a 996 cab and about 20 rust bucket 356s I parted out. Ouch, bad boy. Currently I have stepped down to simpler ICE and take care of a couple cute vdubs including a museum quality '50 splitty, '56 RHD CKD originating from Fiji with 36k original, '64 KG with 24k original. I won't burden you with the others. Yes, a very committed, or should be committed, devotee of air cooled.
    OK, down to brass tacks, or Wolfgang's spot welds, finally. I have a super nice NOS pair of complete SB3. And if you don't have the brackets to which to mount these gems, they are included for your meticulous spot welding to the inside of the headlight bucket. You see these were also produced to retrofit 356 B/C and VW 1200s. They are $400 for the pair including shipping to the lower 48, or best nearest reasonable offer.
    Now, I'm sorta a geezer and don't enjoy tech like the younguns. So posting any pics on this site is a semi-mystery to me though I expect you need to use a link to another photo hosting site. Too much work for this geezer ish porschephile. So if you want some pics just email me at stevetheaker@gmail and I'll send a bunch.
    I will be back in the game again soon. I first need room so will be selling a NCRS top flight 98 point '62 C1 Vette with a 327/340. Shipping not included on that puppy.
    Peace

    Not for 911's. I've seen them used on 356's but originally seen on Mercedes trucks turned sideways
