Here is a working list of lens type and year. Please feel free to update as you see fit.
To summarize:
1949 - 1950? = Large sliver, no logos.
1950? - 1952? = Large sliver, Hella logo only.
1952? - 1953 = Large sliver, Hella and squiggly.
1953 - 1954 = Small sliver, Hella and squiggly. |
I believe the lenses are the same from beginning of production until the end of 52 - large silver no logos. My 52 (may) had lenses without any logos on prior to me owning it. For sale picture:
I guess what we need to confirm is when the hella logo appeared (very beginning of 53?) and when the squiggle appeared _________________

Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 2:48 pm Post subject: I found some NOS headlamps - 4 styles |
|
|
From some old stock at a dealership I have a load of bus headlamps. At least three of these are for a Barndoor and they are all the same style..
Part number: 211 941 021 A
Narrow sliver, VW logo opposite sliver, no "NL"-mark...
From what VIN/date to what VIN/date were these used??
There are also 3 other styles of non-Barndoor lenses....check my pics in the "Parts - Bus"-gallery. I would appreciate to hear the use-dates for the three other styles as well.
Part numbers for the 3 newer styles:
211 941 021 D
211 941 039 A
211 941 040
Thank you in forehand! |

Oysteyn,
IMO this is not a barndoor headlight t Check the date stamps on the bucket and reflector, I think late 55 or 56

Posted: Fri Jul 02, 2010 8:15 am Post subject: Early bus headlight reflectors |
|
|
This week I purchased a large load of misc nos parts, In this load there was a nice pile of early bus headlight pieces & parts. Most items mainly the reflectors are Hella. None of my books (later) show the reflector part numbers I have. I know they are from the 50’s possible early 60’s
Some are wrapped in VW cardboard 211 941 152, More in the vw blue box 211 941 151 A , Large stack no box 211 941 152A They all take the early bulb holders same as split? There are a few odd one with no part numbers. I was wondering if any of these are barndoor. I looked thru all the headlight threads but there is nothing on just reflectors.

French market lenses--possibly correct for the '54. This was covered in another thread on the Oval Window forum recently, which stated they were '52-only.
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=441558
What are the date codes printed on the bucket(s)? They shouldn't be later than mid-'54. _________________ Thanks,

I'm guessing 1954 or 1955. However, the seller isn't showing any clear pictures of the bucket or markings, so I'm betting it's off the non-BD '55 he is parting out. _________________ Thanks,

I found this bucket. It looks like US Spec Barndoor bucket, but the lens is fluted. There is VW stamped in the glass at the top, and on the bottom is a Bosch symbol, as well as a Bosch written in script. I didnt see these lenses posted, any ideas on origin?
trim ring is single rivet, hella stamped with screws at 5 and 7 o'clock.
note the glass is installed upside down. _________________ Fritz Custom Products

The lens is circa 1955-60 Bosch Type 1, not original to the Hella design bucket.
Does the rim have a drain hole on the side?
Is there a date code (not visible in the pictures) stamped in white paint near the springs? It should have a letter, followed by 2 to 4 numbers.
Are the plated pivot arms marked "Links" (left) or "Rechts" (right)?
If this is truly a barndoor sealed-beam bucket, it has to be one of the earliest produced (1953 or early 1954). I have only seen one other barndoor sealed-beam assembly (late '54-'55) and it was on a '67 bus. _________________ Thanks,

It's not a bus headlight, the fluting in the glass is 90 degrees out. That's from a beetle _________________

Yes it has a drain hole making it a drivers side (LHD) bucket

there is no date code paint marks anywhere around the black painted bucket

No, the outer pivot arm is not marked but "links" is printed on the inner headlight housing (see pic). the pivot arms do look like they are right and left specific do to tab shape.

The date stamp is barely visible next to the fingertip in the picture.
If it contains an "L" = 1953, "M" = 1954
In any case, this is a genuine early barndoor sealed-beam bucket! _________________ Thanks,

L1218 = Dec '53. The date codes on these pre-Dec '54 buckets with no Hella logo either have the "18" or they don't. _________________ Thanks,
