Does anyone know where I can get parts for the headlight open/close 
mechanisms?  Especially the hinge springs (mine are pretty rusty) and the 
nylon rods that go through the springs. Both of my rods broke when I was 
testing opening and closing the headlights.  I guess they were brittle from 
age.  Also, is there a special tool to remove the caps from the rods/pins?  
Prying them off with a screwdriver tends to bend things that probably 
shouldn't be bent.

The vacuum actuators seem to be OK but probably could use a rebuild.  I 
thought I saved the past posting about getting kits from a Corvette parts 
supplier but couldn't find it.  Could someone re-post it?

Thanks,
Marvin
