I need a pic of the body mount hardware for the lights, the bracket to the car. The inside looks like a captive nut or something. You can see it under the headlight from the front trunk. Tough angle to get a pic, but it would really be appreciated.

My car, 74 2.0 must have been wrecked at some point and had another front grafted on. It might have been an older one so they used sheet metal screws for mounting the lights that won't hold anymore.

PET, pg 285, seems to say it uses a M10 x 16 pan head screw, some sort of spring washer but does not mention the nut. I may just have to hold one back there manually and hope it holds, maybe use a nylock.

Not trying to make it perfect, just better than it is now.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Thought I would share my solution. This car is never going to be correct or perfect again, it's had a hard life, (without too much money). I am just trying to make it better than when I got it.

Solved the problem for about $4 at the local hardware store and a little time. It is much better than it was as you can see by the pic of what used to hold the lights on.
