Have your originals re-silvered. The ones from Vintique will not fit 33-34 properly. Drake says they make their own but they are pricey.

Even better than resilvering are done by the "UVIRA CO" Merlin, Or. 1-541-474-5050 /// 1-541-956-6880. uvira@terragon.com. Some space age plating process and last forever. Mine were done at least 20 yrs ago and still have the britest HL's in town.

Greetings, Maybe I can help. I have a couple sets of reflectors that may work for you. One box is marked 40-13028 and another is marked 4013028-A. I know one set has the parking light socket with a pig tail. They are unused but quite tarnished from being in the box so long. I've not tried to polish them, but at least they would be a good candidate for one of the above mentioned "silvering". Let me know what you think. Is it Joel or Joelle? 42oink.

Do your reflectors have one or two bulb holes? I have a Deluxe Roadster that has cowl lights so the headlights only have one bulb. Let me know. Joe

Hello Joe, I checked all that I have and they all have 2 holes, and only one set has the parking light socket with the pigtail. Sorry. I was wondering why some wouldn't have the parking light. Thanks. While on the subject, any one know a good way to polish the tarnish without scratching the silvering?? 42oink

You probably should try one of those liquid silver cleaners first. The silver coating is not that thick and any form of abrasive, and all you will have is a reflector without the reflection.
