1968 Headlight actuators
I have a bad passenger side headlight activator on my 68. I see they sell seal kits as long as the diagram is not the problem. I have looked at repro actuators that generically fit 68-82. I am told there is a difference between 68's and the later years. Guess my question is, is there a difference and if so, what is it. Second, does "one size" fit all as they advertise. And third, does anyone have a good passenger side activator for sale??? Thanks for whatever help you can give me.

The replacements are one size fits all, but I think some vendors sell the correct one. I think 68 and I know 69 had smaller tubes for the hose connections, 1/4" as opposed to the later years 5/16" tubes. The repops also have a larger radius to the bends of the tubes as well. If the diaphram is good the seals and dust boots can be replaced.
