I'm going to be replacing my GE sealed headlamps with something German. Was it Bosch or Hella that originally came with our cars? Mines a 73, not sure if they only used one manufacture.

MY '72 still has its original Hella sealed beams, though they are slated for upgrade at some point.
I rarely drive the 914 after dark (vintage plate rules in PA), but I'll still upgrade to something brighter. Have no idea what that will be. P |

I mean - what if PCA or local wanted to do a night time Parade/event or another CdE event in the evening/night or even to support a local city, township (can ya tell I'm ex-PA?), county, etc. local event wanting historic cars at night! We have an annual historic & classics cars event here in Old Towne Orange CA, where some of the cars are on display at night (in addition to an annual Classics Car Show in the day). Pretty dumb rules IMHO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Hey Pat, do you happen to know if Sylvania/Osram, GE, Westinghouse &/or any others were also OEM suppliers of the US spec/DOT sealed beams back then? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ... other than obviously Bosch was OEM along with Hella. Did that link for the L43 paint work for you as a source for more on your gas tank?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) T, I'll admit that I have never paid much attention to sealed beams & din't know who the suppliers may have been. I have Hella - that's what I know & I doubt that they are any different from the other. A sealed beam is a sealed beam! As to the paint, yep I know about that site, but know that I have another close by. Looking for it, but forgot the name. Oldziehmers! P |
