Headlight socket length
 

I have 2 what I believe to be original headlight sockets.


Pictures shows a repro on the left and 2 different length sockets.


All are single bulb 2 filament.


any thoughts?

The 2 on the left are for 1930-31 headlights.

The 1 on the right is for the 1928-29 headlights.

Also be careful when screwing in the focus adjusting screw. Turn it in too far and you'll ground out the socket on the headlight shell by touching the two socket wires. Be aware that many repo sockets are the wrong diameter, fitting loose in the headlight shell. My own experiences!
