Posted July 17, 20168 yr comment_498979 These are the two adjusters that allow the headlight to be aimed, the screw is still available but wondering if anyone has found a source for the white plastic anchor?

July 17, 20168 yr comment_498983 Tough one, never seen a thread about that. Seeing how tightly they are snapped in the bucket flange, I'm wondering if they only come as part of a entire new bucket. Easy enough to just use an insert nut to make threads, but you totally lose the tension that the nylon threaded thingy provides. Which you need!

July 18, 20168 yr comment_499003 Don't forget to check the 'miscellaneous automotive parts' display rack at your local Canadian Tire store. I'm pretty sure you'll find at least a couple of types nylon headlight adjuster sockets, and one of them might adaptable.

Or NAPA, bought a bag of these today and with a bit of modification with a square file they work perfectly. I have 12 extras left over for the next 3 Zs Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/55818-light-bucket-adjuster/#findComment-499064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
