Does any one have any info and picture on headlight bowls to suit a 54 so I can make sure I get the right type. lenses and everything Very Happy

Also is there a difference between Barndoor and post Barndoor deluxe trim?

Not sure if the trim is different, although I had a piece missing from my bus and I used another used piece... from memory it was slightly narrower than the original stuff, like 1mm. I had to 'spread' it out slightly to match.

Some of the lengths are different since it wraps around the rear a different distance than later Buses - you may already know that.

Big thanks for the help chaps.

Think i will have to repo all round as i wont find original and i don't want a mix match of original and repo.

Thanks again Sam
