1970 head light buckets
I have a driver side headlight bucket that has the adjustment post broken (just the high beam). Is this a part I can buy? Do I have to buy new buckets? Also the springs are missing.
Thanks Tom

Can you post a picture of the bucket and broken piece?
I have a spare set of buckets from a 72 Cutlass but not sure they are the same.

70 buckets are different than 71-72. I don't "think" you can buy the adjustment posts. Iirc they are riveted to the metal. I'm sure I have a complete plate if u need one with good posts & springs.

I think I saw those adjuster posts on the HELP cards at the auto supply store...drill the rivet and re-apply new stuff...

Yeah, that's a standard HELP! card part.
And if they don't have that exact (riveted) one, you can probably fudge it with a push-in Ch--y one.
