Headlight Adjusting Hardware Replacement
Hi Guys,
Anyone have any guidance/ hints/instructions on replacing nylon inserts, springs, screws etc that adjust the headlamps. To be clear, the pieces that go behind the buckets that hold each particular headlamp and provide the up/down and side/side adjustment. I can find only an exploded view picture and was hoping for a little more direction before I started taking it all apart. Maybe I’m over thinking it, but any help from the knowledge well here would be big time appreciated. Thanks
Dave

Part way down I show some images of the bits your talking about on the adjusters
Also a reminder the tin buckets have an order they need to go back in place. Looking at the front of the car the order is C B D A from left to right. Letters are stamped on the tabs where they bolt on
