Headlight bearings

Anyone know if the plastic bushing in these:

will fit in the old bearings:

or where I can get just the plastic bushings themselves?

Thanks

I am purchasing the new style from a forum member, but was wondering if the bushing will fit the old type. Not trying to make the car 100% NCRS but would like it to look original.

Thanks

Paragon, or Doc Rebuild may have them.

The headlight bearings are not judged. They don't show once installed.

Hi Russ
I'm not sure if the plastic bearing will fit in the old style but you can see it has a split so it was pushed in to fit the new style. I am sure the old style is the same too. You can try and take the bushings off the new and put in the old.
BTW. aren't you looking for a set of headlight doors??? I pm'd you and it has the same old style bushings on them. I would use the old ones as one day they will be judged. Only a matter of time.
Thanks, Grant
