Title: 'In wanted' advice on 69-500 Headlight Buckets!
Post by: 500Jon on March 27, 2014, 05:16:37 AM
Hi AeroFolks,

Somehow I have lost/mislaid my headlight buckets.
They were removed from the original grille frame as it was rusted/damaged beyond repair.
They were (I think) given to me when I bought the car, but now missing?
I have a replacement grille frame with the centre grille facia mounted onto it, but no headlamps or buckets.

Can anyone help me please?
What do I need to find to complete the grille frame and mount the lights?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanx in advance 500Jon

You should be able to find fenders. The trick is finding someone who will separate the headlamp buckets from the fenders. Typically, the headlamp buckets survive the test of time, so if you were to find fenders with rusted bottoms, it isn't a biggie. Shipping cost for complete fenders would be a big pain in the butt and a much lighter wallet.... If you were to find some fenders and the owner didn't want to separate them, I would except them for you and then separate and ship..........

Cheers,,
