[QUOTE="Ian Savage, post: 8983, member: 156"] Stuart What you have there is I believe a Lucas 'Split Rim' I had one on my Comet years ago until I dropped the bike and damaged the rim. It lets you fit a Lucas 700 sealed beam unit to a 6 1/2 Miller shell. The chrome plate covers the cut should have tags that enter the two small slots then a wire clip retains it from the inside and hook fitting that holds it to the shell. I don’t think I have the damaged rim still but I’ll have a rummage and see if any of the bits remain in a box somewhere. I've just looked at the rest of the pictures and the clip fitting you have ia a repro Miller fitting that the Velo club make/made and someone has tried to adapt the split rim cover plate to fit. The Lucas clip is different. Ian [/QUOTE]
