Title: 69 GT350 headlight bucket adjustment hardware
Post by: SChatman on February 13, 2022, 02:00:14 PM
Is the headlight adjustment hardware attached and painted when the bucket is painted or is the hardware and rivets put on after paint? I have all new hardware but the existing stuff was painted when my car was painted. Picture for example pointing to bracket and adjustment screw.
Thanks in advance

Observations lead me to conclude that the hardware typically was attached when painted. It was probably because the paint does not hinder operation.

Thanks Bob, do you still have a good condition wooden automatic shift handle? I mentioned before that mine doesn't have the snake on it.
