Reply to "Headlight bucket & bracket alignment"

trstno1Member

I verified both buckets are original to the car & have not been modified. Headlight holes are also correct. So it now begs the question, how to get them both centered when closed & up flush when open.

After looking at it more, I think I can now see what I need to do. The brackets welded to the bar need to be at a different angle & raised up a little. This should allow the bucket to clear the opening & remain centered when closed.

Here is the passenger side, showing how low it sits in the hole with the up limit almost maxed out. So, the bracket needs to be moved back & angled up slightly...I think. I'll mock it up tomorrow & see how it lines up. I'm sure it'll be a process until I get it just right.
