Hi GMC,
I have a couple of these adjustment screws that I just removed out of an old 40 headlight bucket. I thought I had enough to restore 2 original buckets, but had only two. They are not beautiful but one was pretty good and the other was... remove with vise grips and carefully rebuild with JB Weld. The threads appear to be okay but I just wire brushed them, I didn't have a thread chaser of the correct size. The brass nuts are both fine as you might suspect, but I had to remove the side adjuster sheet metal bracket to remove that one. I will have to cut a new slot in one of the machine screws and they should dry for a good 24 hours first (I used the JB Weld Marine). So... send me your address and bring over a wheel barrow load of greenbacks and I'll send them to you (just kidding, $2 for shipping ought to do it). Do you need the little bracket that I had to remove? Best wishes, Toby Lampert e-mail [email protected] or phone 802-869-2688
