Default Different headlight issue
There is an aluminum pin at the top pivot of the headlight assy.
Looks like a "flexible" flat washer holds from sliding out.
Anyone know what you call it or where to get one ?
Mine is gone but I found the pin .
I'm guessing McMastercarr but don't know what to search under .......

I'm guessing I could put a washer and drill it for a cotter pin but I'd rather just slide the correct fastener on......

Try "retaining washer". In a pinch, try slipping a piece of tubing on the end of the pin.

I did and couldn't find it

Rubber tubing it is , good one
Dunno why I didn't think of that
Alot quicker and easier than drilling
