My car has been missing the aluminum headlight surrounds / rims since I've owned it. Now that I have the car in the process of a restoration, it's time to make a set of these parts. Does anyone know the general dimensions of the cross section of the ring that they could forward to me? Photos would be great as well. My intent is to hand form the parts from sheet or angle stock.
Thanks,

Thanks to John and Scott for the photos. I have a much better understanding now as to how these were made by Zagato. My plan at this point is to use either 1100 or 3003 aluminum sheet and hand form the parts. Will keep the list posted on the results. Does anyone have an approximation of the material thickness used in these parts? At this point I'm guessing at .050" or .062".
On a separate but related subject, does anyone have any photos of the headlight buckets used in our cars? Mine were apparently removed very early on when it was converted to a race car. I've hacked together some based on Lucas headlight buckets from the '60's but would rather have a a better solution. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
