Headlight Rain Shields
Over last winter (2011 2012) I replaced the vacuum headlight motors on my 70 with electric. Somehow I missed re-installing the shields.
This 70, that I acquired in 2004 (yea, they show me as a Junior Member ??) was not original. One of the POs had removed the Wiper Door & Vacuum motor, and installed a 73 hood.
Since it was modified, I replaced the headlight motors. Much better.

Hi Bob,
Bill's right, the shields are being reproduced, so the usual larger venders have them.
I think I've heard them referred to as "stone" shields but maybe 'rain' shields too.
Regards,
Alan

Hi Bob,
The 3 screws in the top of each shield each go through a small hole in the flange on the bottom of the bumper and then into the u-clips on the shields. The shields then end up tight against the backside of the front grills.
