Re: Harold's '48 S10 LS1 Build

When I bought these Frenched Headlights, the original pivot plates were a cheap brittle plastic with sheet metal screws for adjustment. These would have broken on the first good bump.

Well I finally finished one of the headlight spring plate assemblies. I used 1/8" stainless plate for the three rings and the headlight adjusting screws and nuts from a Mustang. It took a little bit of grinding on the adjusting nuts to get the assembly in the bucket.

This was a very tight fit, but I was able to make the adjusting screws accessible through the headlight retaining ring. That way I can pull the headlight and still maintain the adjustment.
