Default Need headlight hardware

Hello everyone,

I need some info regarding some of the hardware on the headlights. Does anyone know the thread size and pitch of the screws or tinnerman nuts that hold the headlight cover mount plate to the pivot arm? (see the red arrows on the attached picture.) Neither an 8-32 tap or a 4mm tap seem to want to fit.

I'm converting back to stock headlights, and I need to source the screws, both for the mount plate, as well as the headlight covers. I also need to know the size and pitch of the bolts that mount the pivot brackets to the car.


Thanks very much, in advance!

Jon

Thanks for the suggestion but those are the pivot bolts. I need the hardware pointed at by the arrows.

Sorry, looked at where your finger pointed. The arrows are standard bolts on the car. Located just about everywhere. Dealer can sell you a pack. I believe they were less than a dollar each. I keep a spare pack to replace bad ones during repairs.
