I need some front wings to cut and shut that fit original mini headlight bowls, so:

What cars used the same size headlights as the original mini?

Are they just normal 7" sealed beam units?

If so... Most of the MG cars of that era.... the TVR M series....

Older style Morgan cars?

Landrover defender?

I got a really really good deal on some units with the bowl, wiring and headlights.
I just need some cheap wings to fit them to.
