I was thinking of a way to keep the nut from rust and I forgot about the anti-seize.

Well that is the one problem I will have with it but I could just take the bulb all the way out make an adjustment put the bulb back in. It will be a tedious and slow going process but I should only have to do it once.

Can you tack the nut in place?

No, unless I were to grind the rivets off for the piece that holds the plastic nut.

To be honest I don't think it will be a big problem taking the bulb out to make an adjustment.

Hey guys I have a '57 for you to buy. Barrett Jackson in just a few weeks here check it out. It's a pretty sharp truck.

1957 FORD F-100 Lot 1560 | Barrett-Jackson Auction Company

I think here in maybe a week or 2 I might drive out to the Appleton/Green Bay WI area to check out those 2 chroming shops.

The Chrome Shop and Custom Plating Specialists. I haven't decided 100% yet but I am leaning a little more towards Custom Plating Specialists.

I got most of the little parts blasted and ready to be powdercoated but I am going to have to hit a junkyard here pretty soon to because some parts actually need to be replaced. Like my driverside window crank wabbles really bad and I think I might need to pick a heat riser while I am there.
