MG MGA - Headlamp replacement

Just caught a cold, having purchased the replacement Lucas SBC3 headlamps bowl kits the outer retaining ring whilst being plated is not chrome but probably zinc. Have just had to buy 2 chrome retaining rings as the as supplied rings look awful.

Just thought I would pass this on if anyone else is contemplating a need to change.

I got the chrome lamp surrounds (if these are the parts you mean Mark) from Moss. They look great but I think they are chrome plated steel and you will probably only get 4 or 5 years out of them.
Does anyone still make the chrome plated brass ones which I would think would last much longer?

I am struggling to get some decent rubber seals which fit underneath the rims, the ones I have used seem to fall apart sfter a year or so.

I also bought some bowls recently and received plain plated (not chromed) retainers. I complained to the eBay seller and got a refund very quickly after I left negative feedback.

Why they think they can get away with such rubbish astonishes me.
