    I was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction.
    I have a 48' CJ I am trying to finish and I am now trying
    to install the missing headlight beauty rims.
    I have bought two styles of rings so far neither fit?
    There is a "tab" at the top & a threaded tab at the lower portion.
    The bucket is mounted from the front of the sheet metal therefore
    creating a sort of diameter of 9-inches.
    Any ideas..? If someone may have a "used" set would be even better..!
    I really would prefer used as they would look sort of out of place with the rest of EMA
    if they were bright & shiny.
    Thanks,
    George

    Would you be able to use a military set, painted?

    Maybe? How wide is the flange ( looks to be about 3/4" maybe? ).
    I could rotate them about 45 degrees & drill for TEK screws.
    Could you measure what you may have for me..?
    Thanks

    Sorry, I'm not a flattie guy - it was just a suggestion.

    This should be the one for a 2A. Can you post a picture of your headlight bucket? You can paint the bezels too if you don't want the chrome. The early 2As had painted ones anyways.

    Chrome Headlight Bezel Fits 46-53 CJ-2A, 3A
