Need headlight buckets that align with screws from the back, or just longer screws

    Does anyone make a headlight bucket for a sealed beam where the two alignment adjustment screws are accessed from the back side?

    If that is not available, are longer adjustment screws available so I can make them accessible from the back side?

    I'm eliminating the headlight bezel and having just the headlight retaining ring pass through the fender opening for a smoother look.

    Go to your local napa, they have an assortment of those screws in various lengths, that is exactly what I did on my 52, I cut holes in the back of the bucket,

    Thanks for the response, Bob. That information about NAPA having the screws is helpful.

    Did you cut a square on the end of the screw to put a wrench on for adjustment, or something else?

    Nope, I just slotted the end with a cut off wheel and use a screwdriver to adjust.
