I am wondering if the headlight trim rings on a 1965 Hillman Husky estate will match the Tiger headlight rings? Thank you for any and all help.

They should fit without issue, i'm assuming that they are the normal peaked type, not the non-peaked early husky type, or the gazelle/rapier rims with the added chrome eyebrow.

the sunbeams shared the rims with the other rootes cars, though the things to check:

are the screw on rims or clip?
are the sharp or rolled edge? (there are 2 types of rim, one has a sharp edge to the eyebrow, the other a rounder more rolled edge)

Thanks Michael,
My Tiger in a 1966 Mk1A so it has the clip on peaked headlight rings.
The Husky in the photos has what appears to be very similar headlight rings. Not being an expert in Rootes vehicle parts interchange I thought a question posted here might help educate me. I will double check mine and then when I get the opportunity I will look at the Husky parts. Thanks again for the help.
Dan
