Default Re: Some Days the Bear Eats You...

I plan to get screws from the 28-29 headlights and try them. Those buckets are deeper so the screws should be longer and have the proper slotted heads.

BB, I don’t think the 28-29 screws are longer. It is the socket that is longer to fit the deeper 28-29 buckets.

And Allen head screws aren’t the worst.You can always claim it’s a Canadian car. At least they aren’t (shudder) Phillips heads!

You could be right. I looked on Snyder's website and the 28-29 screws and springs come as a set and has a different part number (A-13101-2A) than the 30-31 (A-13101-2B). Both the screw and spring appear to be longer but it could be that just the spring is longer or larger diameter. They're not likely stainless steel for the money but for $1.50 I think it's worth a try.
