I am in the process of refurbishing my headlights and I have two questions.
1. Are there early and late headlight buckets? I've got two different kinds. Which is which? 2. Should I have these pieces powder coated? I cleaned off all of the rust and now is the time to either primer and paint or find a powder coater. Thanks. George |

I think the first bucket is an early version.
Maybe powder coat. |

Just make sure your powder coater knows to plug the pivot points or you'll spend hours cleaning those out to fit the bushings. |
