Title: Help! Someone with an '88 or '89 with OEM headlight.......
Post by: Jimbo45 on March 14, 2015, 09:05:43 PM

If someone could please measure the dimension of the headlight mounting collar, inside the washer portion, that would be awesome!  I have all the parts to install my '88 style headlight, but the metal collars are unavailable.  I have some metal tubing and an SS washer, that I intend to fab my own collar, but I need the dimension shown (or the overall length with the washer portion if its easier). Also, not noted on the diagram I made, but the diameter of the barrel portion that fits into the rubber bushing would be nice too!  The part I am referring to, is part #3 on the partzilla link below:

Thanks again hick wheeler, I found some bronze bushings that are the perfect diameter and length when I add a stainless fender washer to the outside!  Didn't even have to cut them!
