Re: [T3] 6V headlight plugs

I was thinking of the original, not the USA spec.
We have completely disassembleable units (with a U-section circular gasket
around the glass/reflector join) rather than sealed beam headlights, so you
don't get that blast between the trim ring and the glass.

I wonder if that can be fitted to a sealed beam unit - I'll take a look at the
one from Jim A.
