Good evening club members.
I am delighted to report that I have completed several sets of the rare auxiliary reflectors for the Glolite headlights. These are the units that are fitted in front of the 2 filament bulb within the lense. These units will be shipped to two separate platers to be nickel and gold plated. No cost on the gold plating as yet. I am looking at an early August timeframe for them to be completed for purchase.
Steve was good enough to have a Tech session on this and I must say the workmanship is fantastic! This is a quality reproduction of a very very rare item for these headlight units and after this run that Steve does, they will be virtually impossible to find. These were used on the 1928 Model 65, Model 75 and I believe some in the 1929 models, maybe the model 70, not sure of any others. Most of these got discarded over the years by various owners and mechanics and you never see them come up on EBAY so put your order in as soon as you can!

Hello Durant Members. I have listed the "Auxiliary Glolite Reflector" reproduction information and cost on the "For sale and Wanted" section for those of you that are interested. My contact information is there as well.
At the recent Hershey meet, I got to see the finished product Steve made. All plated and ready to sell. If your car came with Glo-lite Lenses and you need this piece to finish your restoration, don't hesitate to contact Steve and obtain a set. They are beautiful and a very hard original item to find as most got thrown away many years ago.
