What is the difference between Parabeam and and Depressed beam lenses?

Do you still need dimensions.

My 1928 drum lights for my 526 have Parabeam headlamp lenses. The dimension of the glass stamped on the glass is:8 31/32 x 7 15/16

Received my cans and rings back from the plater and have the fitting and new bolt ready to attach. I have obtained two reflectors but the one shown seems to be the one that fits my cans. It has two tabs at 3 and 9 o'clock that look like the fit into each other to align the reflector. My reflectors have two lamp sockets. I know the center one is a two filament bulb for high and low beams. Is the other for parking light bulb? Does it go at 12 or 6 o'clock? Or does the 526 not have two lamp sockets?
I also had Olson's gaskets make me a couple of cork strips to place around the reflector to make the lens tight when the ring is attached. Can anyone tell me how to assemble the light correctly. Are there any lens clips, what are the hole and slot in the reflector at 6 and 12 o'clock for?

Where can I get the adjustment assy that fits on the inside of the can? Right now I am planning to fill the holes with chrome machine screws and use new fixed bulb sockets in the reflectors.

Troy,

I have a line on 6 diamonds but need another 6. Let me know at rrhortonx1@comcast.net

Can anyone tell me where to find/purchase the 12 diamond shaped buttons on the front and rear bumpers?

Tim,
Can you provide any contact information for Jim Simpson?

I have needed someone to rebuild the reservoir assy in my 1928 526 and have not been able to find anyone that will work on these units. I have also been unsuccessful in separating the handle shaft from the lower unit. Seems that the old pot metal parts have melded together. When one of the pot metal parts breaks you cannot put them back together so be very careful.

What is the name of the Australian supplier?
My channels are 1/2 inch wide and 5/8 inch tall. Were yours?

Fortunately the leatherette is in very good condition. I plan to just use a little saddle soap and use it as is.

Seen on the Harold LeMay property in Grahm, WA among other rusting items.
