H1 restoration - guidance and pointers
Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2021 11:27 am
One of the final pieces of my puzzle is fitting correct headlights to my '71T and have been sitting on these H1s for sometime waiting for a lockdown to start!
I was going to do use these guys for resilvering:

Rewire them myself and give a general clean and once over. However one of them is worse than the other and one part of one of them, the 3 tab connector on one of the lights is very corroded. Any smart ideas of how to replace it without drilling and reattaching (which looks out of my capabilities?). Or alternatively - does anyone know of any specialist that could help?
I've checked this resource online a bit, a great reference: http://www.audettecollection.com/h1-history
and I often come across Karmon selling them at huge prices - keen to not have to resort to that...
Many thanks in advance.. Joel
