Hello Durantonions

I am in the process of machining some Glolite reflectors as you can see by the photo. They are not complete and will take some time yet to finish several sets. After the machining is complete, they will be gold plated like the original reflectors to give the light beam an amber hue. These reflectors are as hard to find as hens teeth and if you do, they will be out of reach. My question is, who would be interested in buying a set for the large diameter Glolite headlights? I don't have a real number on the cost yet but would still like to take a survey on the interest.

I want to give more insight on the Glolite headlights that use these reflectors. These headlights are the largest diameter (10.125") ones that Durant installed on their cars. The D75 and D65 models used these Auxiliary reflectors (Part # 24972) in 1928 according to the Durant "Repair Parts List" booklet. The Model 75 "Instruction Manual" refers to them as supplementary reflectors. Other years and models may have used them as well. To be certain if your car came with these reflectors, remove the lenses and look for the 3 slits, one near the top and two near the bottom.

I would be interested in a set. They were also used on the Model 66 and Model 70.

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!
