36 headlamp mounting
 

Does anyone have a suggestion on where I can locate two 68-13020 headlamp swivel bolts? When I bought the car, it was torn apart and in boxes. The headlight buckets are in good shape but are missing the mounting bolts. I can't seem to locate them anywhere. They are hollow to allow the lighting wires to pass through. Anybody have experience or suggestions on how to make something that would work as a substitution?

Post an ad in the V-8 "wanted" swap meet section. Also do a search in the Early V-8 "for sale" section.

Also missing is the strap on the inside of the bucket that holds the bolt in place. Those you can make yourself once you find the bolts.

You will also need lock washers and hex nuts.

You can get the special washers and nuts from 3rd Gen Automotive.
