What size screw hold the bezel in place. Looked at Mike B's how to spot an early one page, but I can't make out if they're 8's or 10's.

Sprint headlamp bezel fixing screws
The 16v Slant 4 engine is more fun than the 3.5 V8, because you mostly drive it on the upslope of the torque curve.

Re: Sprint headlamp bezel fixing screws
I was looking at 10s cos the holes are a bit worn, and I think 6s would pull through. But 8s seem to work.Flyfisherman wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 9:52 pmGrahamGrahamFountain wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 8:37 pm What size screw hold the bezel in place.

Re: Sprint headlamp bezel fixing screws
No, I mean the painted black outer surround for both headlamps. I think the part numbs are 817389 and 817388, but I aren't certain.new to this wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 11:23 pm Garham
