    WTB: Hella SB19 Sealed Beam Housings

    Looking for a few of these for my Cibie and Amplilux restorations.

    Don't need trim rings or lenses, just the housings and headlight mounting rings. I have a lot of hard to find stuff to trade, or cash.

    Thanks,
    John

    P.S.You can tell the date of production of the buckets with the code written under the SB 19 lettering. The buckets pictured above have the code “C 40″ which indicates a date of October, 1966. The ‘C” stands for 1966 – Hella used a lettering system that started with “A” for 1964, “B” for 1965, and on up. The “40” designates the 40th week.

    Hi John,

    A minor point, but "(C 40)" is actually the Hella date code, not a Porsche code.
    Good luck with your search...
