Headlight bezel Carello part #

Hi Larry, just checked shelf parts from my '72 carefully and see no part number info on the rings....just the standard "Carello" stamping. Hopefully somebody has #s recorded by alternate means?

Thanks Nate‼️

Larry, were you able to find new headlight bezels?  The chrome on mine is not recoverable.

Steve, since this thread was last April I had to refresh my memory and remember I had also posed the question to the email list.

I got a return from Mike Drew who gave me the following link. I believe they are reproductions and overly expensive, but I think they are the correct trim ring for the Pantera. Very likely such a piece was universal when multiple Italian cars were sporting the 7 inch diameter headlight

another owner sent me this photograph that has the same stampings as shown in the linked trim ring

I suspect a diligent search on eBay Italy would turn up alternate sources for these rings as it appears they are being reproduced

Larry

Have you just considered having them re-chromed?

small items like that would probably cost about $50-$75 a pair at the shop I use here in Fresno

Larry

Steve, can you please take a series of photos showing all views and markings of one of your trim rings?

some dimensions of diameter and height would also be helpful. I’m thinking this would be a good thread to post that information for some permanence

Larry

Larry, photos of my trim rings will be underwhelming.  They look the same as the photos above but include a lot of pitting in the chrome.  Mine have Carello stamped just like the above.  Wilkinson's website says they are $82.57.  If he has them then it may be a good option.  Getting them re-chromed is also an option but it tends to be pricey and they cannot guarantee the outcome.

Larry,

Inside diameter of the face is 7.125"

Outside diameter of the face is 7.5"

Inside diameter of the back is 7 13/16"

Outside diameter of the back is 8 5/16"

Height is 1 3/8"

Regards, Steve

Thanks

I have one NOS ring available. In the original Ford box.

Ron,

can you locate a Carello part number anywhere on your ring?

Thanks,

Larry
