I found an 1914 original glass mirror Reflector for gas headlight in usable condition but it's appear the diameter is too small and doesn't fit. Someone know what is the correct measurement ? The actual glass I have is 6''. The head light I have is Corcoran Lamp Co made for Ford Cin'ti. Also, if you could post the way how it is fit inside of the head light in case I made something wrong...
Thank you for the insights you may provided

Re: Help for mesurement about reflector for Gas Headlight
6” mirror will work if you look on the outside of the back of the light you will see 3 most likely holes around the back edge where flathead screws would go in and thread into wedges that hold the mirror in place. These are available through the vendors. You should also order the insulation pads that go between the back of the mirror and the bottom of the headlight. It is typical configuration for the Victor & Corcoran headlights

Re: Help for mesurement about reflector for Gas Headlight
Thank you John,I had intalled the 3 back edge where flathead screws would go to hold the mirror in place, but it had the gap which not allowed me to keep the mirror in place. Lang's do not have the insulation pads that go between the back of the mirror and the bottom of the headlight. You may know another vendor maybe. I will try to post tonight a close picture of my gas Headlight, it may help. Thx again for the help
