1926 Headlight Spring
Posted: Mon Jun 28, 2021 4:51 pm
Hi,
I cannot figure out how the wire spring is supposed to fasten together. I took apart both headlights and found this spring in front of the reflector instead of behind. This is how the assembly should look: I foolishly disconnected the trick wire joint to get the spring wire to fit in the headlight bucket. When I went to check the other headlight, the spring was already apart.
I have searched and cannot find a good image of the spring wire connected together.
The reason that I am working on the headlights is that the bright trim ring fell off and the glass broke. Do I need to secure the trim ring with a sheet metal screw? I have heard that some folks do that.
Thank you, Richard
