These headlight buckets were used by nearly all UK cars up to the
1980's, Mini, Morris, Austin, Wolseley, Riley, Rover, Landrover,
Triumph, Jensen, Jaguar, Aston Martin etc. They are still available new
as a complete assembly from various sources like British car
specialists, jumble sales, classic car shows etc. for very little money.
Also in non corrosive plastic. I do not think separate parts are
available. It would not be worth your while. If you have to change parts
because they are worn/rusted, the buckets themselves would most likely
have rusted out.
If the wiring is old it might be an idea to pull the wiring further into
the bucket, cut off the excess and fit a new socket for the head light
bulbs. It may increase the light output considerably because of less
resistance in the new socket.
