Working on assembly of my 40 Tudor and am having trouble sourcing headlight hardware. I have a pair of buckets but that’s about it. These will need new adjusting screws, springs, fasteners, and retaining rings.
Can’t seem to find a single source for these parts. Hate to abandon the buckets that I own and buy reproduction buckets.
Anyone know who is selling these parts?
 
Suggestion. regarding the parking light lenses, The passenger car lenses are flat. The ones for the pickup are different. They are convex shaped. With these, and a little ingenuity, the bulb can be located in the hump so it has better visibility. Should you equip the car with turn signals this is a definite advantage.

I second Roger's suggestion on the 41 pickup parking lenses.vI always use the 41 pickup parking lenses. They fit in both the standard and deluxe headlight doors. I use the Drake turn signal kit and you can really see the signal when used day or night.
 
Still looking for a supplier that has this. Anybody?

The screws are pretty common to most headlamps. I've seen them on a variety of makes and older models. You might find the springs along with the screws in a wrecking yard that handles older model cars. Check e-Bay and type in "headlamp adjusting screws" on the search. Lots of options and there is even a set with the springs for about $13.
