The above picture shows the Used (top left), NOS (center), and Repro (bottom right) Headlight rings side by side.
If you look close at the above picture you can see that the Repro leaning while the NOS and Used are level.
Above is the NOS arm that attaches the ring to the headlight bucket.
Below you can see that the repro is almost 3/8" shorter. This makes it so that the repro WILL REQUIRE longer screws to attach it to the headlight bucket.
Above is the NOS Spring Anchor Tab. As you can see if you compare it to the picture of the repro below, it is much wider than the repro. You will also notice that the repro is a single piece with no joints, where as the Used and NOS are tack welded to the spring anchor tab.
Another difference to note, is that the repros have a brushed finish, whereas the NOS and Used have much more of a shine to them when they are polished up.
