Head Light Rims Durant A22 1924

Hi Fellows,
Hope you may be able to help me. Looking for Headlight Rims for my A22 Durant 1924 Project.The ones I have are passed the restorable stage.

Do You own a car built by Durant? 1929 D40 Rugby Wire Sided Van.

Re: Head Light Rims Durant A22 1924

I have model T Rims on my 23 A-22...The original Durant rims have a sharper contour than the T's but the T,s look pretty nice, I can't remember if they are the early T's or the later ones that fit and I believe that it is the reproduction ones that doesn't have the little ford logo...As I recall the Durant Rims push in and twist to lock, the T rims will push in but they will not twist so you will need to make a modification for them to lock...Anyway, one possiability If you can't find your Originals...Bill

Hi,
unlike "T's' the Durant rim has a matt black painted section between the two bezel swage lines. Most cars had this polished off during ownership cleaning. I have an original bezel with the remnants of that painted section which appears to be "factory" as they are not hand painted,
Cheers,
Bruce.

Where Are You From? Melbourne, Australia
