What's the difference between the 73 and 72 buckets? I've seen bigger openings and cut-outs to accommodate the parker globe. What's correct. <br />Cheers. Marty

[sibhs]

I'll stick my neck out and say the 73 has a larger diameter hole. Top is 73 and bottom is 72 back.

Just for information Marty,

 

the 1969 one I have is identical to the bottom one,

 

except the tab at 9 o'clock is not there.

Marty,

 

I have a 2/73 Adelaide car and the holes are about 2 1/2 inches across

 

keep up the good work!

 

Cheers

So Brian yours is a 73 and you have the small bucket Hole (65mm). Do you have the park lights in headlights, if so, how would the plastic hood for park light fit/work? Thanks guys, we'll work this out eventually.

yep parkers in headlights, the plastic hood on mine at the widest point is 62mm across.

i`m not sure if all the 73s are the same or not as mine is a 73 body with 72 interior 40x, 72 colour and engine

Gene, after a bit of Googling the closest I can find to what looks like your headlamp bucket is the ones used in a 1981 Camaro.
