PR: Proprietary Items PR18/1/C Headlamp Rim

[Bobv07662]

Does any one know if the reproduction PR18/1/C headlamp rim is "Miller" stamped?

Whose reproduction rim? Is it the US style sealed beam rim? If so, and if it has the Miller logo (not actually stamped, but raised), it would be quite a news story, they’ve been unobtainable almost forever.

I hope Banana man sees this as I think he said he just bought one NEW with a miller dent in it for a 8" headlamp.....

I have seen repro Miller rims at the regular jumble sales at Kempton Park, London. My memory says that they have Miller logos embossed in them.

I seem to remember some rims being made that were stamped MULER to avoid trademark issues. Cheers, Stu.

The HL rim I'm looking for is for a British home market bike. I believe they are referred to as a 7 inch lamp, not the one for a US head lamp.
I think the rims seen by highbury731 are the ones I need. Any suggestions for contacting one of those vendors?

As Vibrac said, I bought a complete 8" headlamp (all chromed) minus amp meter & switch for £65 Indian re-pop of cause with the Miller embossing. on rechecking he has been withdrawn from e-bay so no link sorry.

The vendor I spotted was German, someone who regularly goes to Kempton. I could ask around if anyone I know can remember who he is. Kempton jumble was held a couple of weeks ago, so the next one will be about 3 months off.
I was hoping to get a mounting latch for a Miller rim, but he just had complete units. It is intended for a Lucas split rim, so I can mount a regular 7" reflector in the Miller shell.

Paul,
Try Andy Davenport for the toggle latch, that's where I got mine
