    Default head light housing panel

    When I took the frontend off my car to have painted, I stripped it of it's parts. I set it in the bed of my truck and noticed a white plastic clip that broke and fell off. When I checked to see where it came from each housing where the head light bucket sets is 4 like white clips that are kind of like flat or a spacer? Anyone know what these are called and where I can get new ones at? I guess after 30 years they must just be pretty brittle! Thanks in advance

    I forget the specific name for the white plastic spacers, but here is a full kit to replace all the spacers, the springs, and the adjusters.

    For the price I believe its well worth it and you are already at that point anyway.

    Well for what it's worth the kit from LMR and AM isn't right. LMR says complete kit there isn't even enough for 1 headlight bucket for these insulators you need 4 for each headlight bucket! Sure is nice to have these restoration sites that don't even bother to double check this stuff out! I will not put out over $100 and not even get enough insulators, so if anyone get let me know where to get 16 of these I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance

    If they take my stapler, then I'll set the building on fire...
