Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2014: Gaslight Reflector Retainer

My '14 T has E and J headlights but no number stamping on them. I'm trying to figure out how the mirrored reflectors are attached to the headlights. A retaining ring? If so, how is the ring attached to the headlamp body? Will the reproduction "blocks" work? Any advice and/or pics would be very helpful.

Thanks, all

Here is a photo of the retainer. There are two pins at the top and a machine screw at the bottom. All of them engage diagonal slots in the bucket; the retainer is rotated until it is up against the reflector, and the screw is then tightened to hold it in place.

R.V. Thanks! That's great! Is it made of some kind of spring steel? Any chance I can get the dimensions to try and make one? Or find one at Hershey? Anybody got a couple for sale?

Thanks.

We are making these. How soon do you need them? We're busy packing and loading for Hershey this week.
