Help replacing headlights in a '74
I've run into a few issues with the headlights on my '74... here are some pics to help explain:
I've modified both of these to fit the new H4's, which is fine...
But when it's come to putting them back on, I don't have enough of these:
That have the full clip shown here:
To bolt in the complete headlight assembly to here:
Has anyone put a complete new set of these in anything with 7" round lights and can point me in the right direction (preferably in Oz)? The main thing I need is the adjusting/securing screws, the rest I can MacGuyver if I have to.
I've also posted this in the Australia chapter to see if any hits come in from those guys... but most of them have newer (2000's) model trucks
Cheers

My MacGuyver
I dont have any direct info for this model, but I have cut slits in the area to allow a slip clip nut to be slid in there and recieve a mating screw/bolt at the area where needed. Just something to think about.

if you're meaning the speaker clip things that a self-tapper winds into then that's my backup plan, but I'd much prefer to try and find some proper adjusting screws so I can get these suckers pointing where they need to

Some may get upset by this company, but I have had good experiences with them. Try LMC Truck. The new catalog shows the entire assembly as well as all the pieces.
