Light bucket adjuster

[grannyknot]

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?

Thanks, Chris

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!

Not even my friends at clips and fasterners have them...  There are lots items that might be made to work though.

Ooooo that's a gold mine of little goodies, I'll find something there that will work.

Thank you

Or we could see if @nix240z would fabricate some?

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

Nice. Great simple mod to get away from hard to find parts. I love that kind of change.
