1935 Ford headlight mount

[waynerd45]

I'm repainting my '35 ford sedan. When I pulled the headlight buckets there was 6 large flat washers and a lock washer on the mounting bolt. Is this correct ? I thought that it should have a heavy spring. If it uses a spring, where can i get one. Thanks for the help.

That hollow bolt goes thru the stand,fender and brace.Flat washer .lock washer and nut.No spring.

The original nuts were extra thick and perhaps have been replaced with conventional nuts. There were no springs involved, as deuce lover notes.
