Plastic headlight adjuster thingies.

[mopar_4life]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone Knows where to get these. They are for my headlight cups on my 65 Polara. They are pretty brittle and it would be good to change them. Also any idea on how to remove them?

Thanks

Eric

I need to buy some. I think local auto parts have them. I will check tomorrow

C Body Bob, Any luck? I am striking out online every where I look.

Didn't make it up there today. We have a Carquest distribution center here in Raleigh. My buddy said they have a big parts bin full of the things. I'll try to stop in tomorrow. How many do you need for the Polara

I checked there and nothing seemed to match what I have. It is a flat rectangle with a elevated circle on the bottom.


Thanks

If you able to find any, 8 is the number. If I can figure out how to take them off, I have a extra set of headlight buckets that I might be able to salvage a whole set. I am sending them off to be powercoated and they need to be removed.



Thanks

I stopped by Carquest. They don't even list a part # for it. I asked was there a multi kit (variety pack) nothing.

Thanks for checking, I think I can salvage the ones from my other headlight bezels. I am not to sure on how to remove them with out destroying them completely. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I still haven't found any but I did figure it out. I soaked the buckets in hot water for several hours. It made the plastic a little softer. I took one of the adjusting screws and screwed it in and then grabbed the bottom of the plastic and rotated. It worked, then just and to "pry" on the piece and it came apart. I think I should have enough to get by. But I am going to search for replacements.

Thanks

Pop them out and put square nuts in their place. Just put plenty of never seize on them.

I'd made a post here along time ago about soaking plastic parts in hot water to restore elasticity to them. Glad you got them out.

Make them, not sure where to get some raw material, go to Home Depot and look around the hardware and plumbing area. Find something you can cut a piece out of, drill and tap a hole.

I was thinking about that. I am currently looking into having them 3d printed.

Thanks

Buy one of those nylon cutting boards they sell in the kitchen dept at Walmart. Pick one thick enough and then dice it, drill and tap.

We buy all kinds of this stuff for use on the things we make.
