Original headlight Bucket 65 vs. 67 vs. 68 vs. Factory replacement
There is still some confusion with me about the headlight buckets.
Which I need to use for my 303381 BY65 MY66 car one of the first with 2 screw horn grills.
I have read some threads / see pictures / see original unrestored cars / restored cars with original and factory replacement fenders.
The question is about the amount/position of the holes in the headlight bucket.
And which configuration was used when? Because have been told there is a different between 65 / 66-67 / 68 / factory replacement
Correct me if I am wrong:
- Centre big hole for wiring harness
- Left from centre small hole for the cable to go to the turn signals
- Right from center small hole for the drain.
I hope anyone can help me with a clear answer.
Let me introduce you the different pictures I have taken and also the information that have been told to mee (can be wrong):
1. Original restored BY1965 MY1965 front fender with 4 tabs for 4 screw horn grill / wide fender lip
You see 3 holes (wiring harness/cable turn signal/drainhole)

2. Original unrestored 302180 BY1965 MY1966 front fender with 4 tabs for 4 screw horn grill / wide fender lip
Can't see in the headlight bucket. The car was on Interclassic Maastricht. Have taken pictures in the front wheel arch. Here you can see 3 holes (pipe for wiring harness/hole cable turn signal/drainhole).
You can see that there is a drain hole because of the rubber thing that covers the drain hole.

It seems that from 68 this was normal?
