Couldn't find a decent early pair as donors, so ordered a pair of replacement buckets. Should be here in a couple weeks.

Got the replacement headlight buckets. I hacked out the top mounting tabs. Used some more of the other bucket to make plates that will be used to sandwich the carbon fender with the mounting tabs. Tab and inside support plate are in the middle of the pic.



Did the carbon treatment to the inside headlight bucket:



Need to install the headlight wire conduit, drains, wire the ballasts/high beam solenoid, and trim up the tabs/plates above for final install.

Here it is mocked up, ignore the reflections:
