36 Car Headlight buckets
My clips at the bottom have broken off on both buckets. Just wondering if anyone has a good repair for this. I’ve searched the board and can’t seem to find this question before. I doubt I’m the first one this has happened to. I was thinking of using small diameter short screws and a nut run up tightly to the bottom of the bucket. I’d hate to do that if someone has a better suggestion. Thanks!

Re: 36 Car Headlight buckets
Does this help?
This is Bob Drake, but others carry them. |

Re: 36 Car Headlight buckets
Just to clarify the Drake kit shown is for the latch on the headlight trim ring and not the head light bucket itself.

Re: 36 Car Headlight buckets
The Bratton clip should do the trick with a few holes drilled for rivets

Re: 36 Car Headlight buckets
Crabby...If fixing yours doesn't work out for some reason, Dennis Carpenter has quite a few 36 passenger buckets in their NOS department. There are a few 40/41 seal beam buckets mixed in with the bunch, on the shelf. I do not believe that they are NOS, but they all appeared to be good buckets when I looked through them in April.
