[Healeys] nos headlight ring

[Bob Yule]

    It appears that Lucas used this same part number for quite a long time. 
We had some NOS rims in sealed boxes with this part number and although they 
were the correct shape, they had no rivet.  I did hear that very late BJ8's 
did not have the rivet, but have not been able to confirm that, one way or 
the other.  We sold a pair to an owner on the west coast who was restoring a 
BJ8 and his old rims had no rivet.  No one could be sure that these were 
original to the car or replacements though.
Cheers.......Bob
