Headlight bezel screws

#1 Post by georgethompson730 »

Anyone know where to get the twelve small screws that secure the chrome bezel around the sealed beam light? I purchased some from Rimmer's last year, but they where far to big for the existing holes. On from that, are they the same as the tred plate securing screws?

Be sure to add a little copper grease to the threads as you know what a pig these can be to get off.

Thanks very much, I will investigate these. I will use copper slip now but I never did when the car was operational, but there again they never had a chance to seize with the amount of sealed beam units I used to get through. They were the days.....
