Part 11- Headlight & Wingnut Stuff
By Greg Fletcher
Costs For The Last Month: $178
Bought more parts, mostly suspension bushings & such. I’ve finally
installed the headlights. This was a bit of a problem as I was missing all
the parts. I found a complete set on ebay for $14 and purchased those. This
was, in fact, not the great deal it sounds as the assemblies where in horrible
shape. Fortunately, I did suddenly find the paper bag with the original parts
(most of them anyway). I was missing the retaining springs but the ebay items
did provide me with all info I needed to reassemble correctly (which was not
as simple as I had supposed). I purchased a pair of halogen headlights from
Delta Motorsports, which I’m very happy with- they have a bit of the
original round look that more modern ones don’t. I was missing the wing
nuts that hold on the headlight cowls and in my frustration I bought some
course thread brass wing nuts and used a tap to get fine threads (the hardware
store didn’t stock fine-thread 1/4” wing nuts!). Moving into engine
compartment next month.
