FS: Hood Lights - rare Marchal version - Used
We have decided to only use one set of hood lights and this set is looking for a new project.
Its and original hoodlight set, not the common Cibie, but the Marchal Version.
The bad: Its a Used set, that needs some work.
The good: This set sets you apart from the crowd, because the Marchal hoodlight is not yet reproduced.
I'll try to describe the set as accuratly as possible:
Let me start with the lenses and mirrors, they are in excellent shape and look like new,
They have not been restored, have no visible ptting and the silver goos up to the front of the lens.
The smal brown edge you see is the discolaration of the original glue, units in this shape are rare.
The body needs to be media blasted or sanded down to get rid of the superficial rust.
The metal body's seem to be quite good, but have some small dents here and there.
The rings we have had rechromed, but that did not work out the way we thought.
They were not properly cleaned prior to the chroming and the aluminum tabs on the bottom were lost in the process.
There is also a small spot on the top where the material of the ring was to thin and the chrome has flaked off.
I would gently media blast them and paint the rings matte black, like the rally cars had in those days.
Mounting hardware is all there and is done in fresh yellow zinc.
