I think you need the retaining ring I show too. The original bezels are unobtainium or ridiculously priced. Here is a pair of headlights to go with them:

I don't understand how these Harley headlight rims attach to a Sunbeam body. Sunbeam headlight rims in decent condition are not that rare.

They would clamp to the retaining ring you screw onto the fender.

I wouldn't think headlight brows would be too much. I have a few in my parts bins.
how much do you want to pay?
let me know.

Don't want to disparage the fine folks at Harley, but their headlight rim is definitely not stock looking on an Alpine. It's longer along the side, more like a Rapier rim, and it has no ridge at the top to match the bodyline.

Actaully it was only late in production they used the clip rims. All the early cars have the screw attachment and most people drill a hole in the clip ones for a screw to stop the rim escaping.

As a side note never over tighten the screws.. So many rims are distorted at the hole or even cracked from being over tightened.

thanks for the correction. always thought it was the other-way around.

ARE THEY "SUPPOSED TO BE BENT LIKE THAT " I NOTICE THEY BOTH HAVE A "FLAT" side ? oops, sorry bout the Caps

 

[bobbo]

One has an indent near the screw hole at the bottom, and is missing the upper clip.
Both are sanded to bare metal except for a little patch of old bondo , so what you see is what you get.
A decent pair for the price.
I can send more photos if you want.
Cheers
