The trim rings for my 1970 C/B-Oldsmobile Cotington 48 were in less than stellar shape, so to the plating shop they go! The four large tunnel lights (2 front, 2 rear) were reasonable and just need some cleaning/plating. For whatever reason, the two center "auxiliary" lights in the middle were far worse. These smaller ones actually hold a parabolic reflector with a glass lens - not a GE 4001R bulb like the others. One had a ton of rust on the inside, but seemed sound and hopefully will clean up. The other - well, let's just say that basically half of the 6 O'clock end is rotted out. It may be possible to patch it, but I'm doubtful.
Is there a current source for these smaller trim rings, or might anyone have a few lying around? It appears to be PAR36 size, with approx. 4" of a central cutout.
