NOS vs Repro Headlight covers

Post by negusm »

Like I said before, there are differences between the repro covers Hank sells and the original ones.

YEARS ago (going on 9 I think), I called Hank and bought a crapload of stuff including the headlight covers. The lighter one in the pictures below is the NOS one I bought back then. It came in the ORIGINAL ascMcLaren bag. If you look carefully in the first picture you can see a ridge running around the top (on the sides) of the NOS cover. It is not a "trick" of the light. The repro is very smooth on the sides. The second picture tries to show the difference in profiles.
