Can someone advise how the reflector and glass is held in the headlamp rim?

I assume it is with clips.

I have a DU-42 headlamp that came in pieces, no glass and no bulb/lamp holder, just the shell, rim and reflector.

If someone has some pictures of the inside and how it is held together it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

From Draganfly motorcycles website :



I think the one top-right is your model.
you can see how the clip is used.
later ones had a rubber seal puts reflector and glass together before you place this assembly in the rim.
Earlier there was a paper gasket thinghy..
I think the rubber seals are postwar? correct me please.

The picture on the right is a post war 7" headlamp...The 'W' clips used to retain the glass are the same though...Ian

This shows an early type reflector and bulb holder. Ron

Again I have no idea what is original but I have found that standard W clips did not hole the 3 pieces together
They seem to be too short to put enough force on the refector
I bought some bulk O ring rubber and made an O ring to fit inside the retaining ring
Then the glass ( frosted bathroom glass ) then another ) ring then the reflector
If you have it apart, take it to a plating shop & get it replated with bright silver , very much worth doing .

Thanks everyone for your help.

I was hoping to use these
