Wanted - left headlight surround 1967 Coupe 2000

Post by bhiggins2 »

Does anyone have a decent headlight surround for a 2000 coupe they are interested in selling? Also, has anyone ever tried separating the headlight bezels from the small piece of grill between the two headlight bezels? A previous owner painted my grill black, including the little grill bits between the headlights. I discovered a large area of rust on the bottom side of the chrome bezel when I removed it from the car and it may be more economical to find a better one than to re-chrome. Thanks, Ben.

I'm curious as to how the chrome bezels are attached to the grill. It looks as though the factory grill pot metal had studs that were inserted through the mounting holes on the bezels, then the studs were crushed [hydraulically?] to form a rivet. It is a very substantial connection. I wondered if they could be drilled out and an aluminum rivet installed without damaging the grill piece. I am interested. How would you go about re-attaching the grill to the headlight bezel? Thanks, Ben.

..the rings are certainly industrially connected.
I think you need an alternative solution for the connection!
I have only 3 chrome rings available. But also have no use for it. I compare tonight with my Dino which they are. If we agree I send them to you with pleasure!

I will certainly take you up on that offer as long as one of them is the outside on the left side.
Thanks, Ben.

I would be happy to take that off your hands. Let me know how much you want for it and shipping.
I just had my center grill powder coated a bright silver. It was too pitted to justify actually chroming.
Thanks, Ben.

Hi Ben,
i think with 20€ for the left one or 50€ for all the three you should be happy!
Additional shipping to the place you are located!
Regards
Klaus
