    WTB: Headlight Housings: Hella SB19, H1, H4, LWB taillight housings

    Thought I would summarize in one post which I will probably need permanently and leave here permanently.

    Things are busy at Audette Collection. I'm looking for the following:

    Hella SB19 headlight housings (sealed beam, not sugar scoops)
    H4 headlight housings, original or repop

    H1 housings, original or repop
    LWB taillight housings

    Always open to trades.

    Thanks,
    John

    Have a few relevant bits. Three original H1 housings in as found condition and some chrome trim rings. I’m in U.K. so just posting this quick snap at this stage:

    18D7C50B-9316-41F8-A9A6-FBB4A5ED8D88.jpg

    Also I do have a pair of complete of the rarer RHD as well as a pair of LHD H1
    My LHD pair photographed today.
    D3202E8E-55A4-4474-A120-11115B0B5322.jpg
    These two pairs are original not repro. There are 1970 Bosch date code stickers on one of each pair. Their PO was a known British racer. Untouched as found condition.

    One of my RHD pair photographed yesterday, the other matching one is similar condition:
    B1DB344A-8FA7-4B54-A8D4-C84DC6A1D357.jpg
    Don’t see too many pairs of original RHD H1 survivors one still with a Bosch sticker showing the RHD part number and date code as evidence it’s over five decades old. Not sure resting them is best idea maybe their as found nice patina condition is more suitable for a similar survivor car?

    Also in deep storage I have the very rare earlier 65-67 RHD that preceded the H1 complete except there is no 7045 lens ( not pictured here but think I might have posted another thread previously)

    BUMP

    I use the Hella SB19 sealed beam housings in the restoration of Cibie Bi-Iodes and given that the finished assemblies are expensive I can afford to pay well above market prices for these.

    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    John

    Hello Jon

    Hello John
    Finally, I just the SB19 housings back from the powder coater. It was just a case of not getting the housings in at a good time--- they
    took forever it seems. I hope you didn't think I was jerking your chain. I want to do future business with you. Merci Sonny
