- A quick question: Are the two rivets on the headlight trim ring (that hold the alignment clip) supposed to be on the top of the ring or the bottom? I have reason to believe that (somehow...) the head

- On my MGA, the rivets are on the bottom. Any chance that that the buckets are installed on the wrong sides? (Left on the right, and vice-versa) Howard Battan Auburn, WA A quick question: Are the two

- If the rivet holds some kind of fastener it should be at the bottom. The headlamp bowl should have the mating part of the fastener, often a spring clip, also at the bottom. The adjustment screws for

- I do not know if they still make them, but the tool of choice as I recall (and use) is a paint can lid remover. It looks like a hooked screwdriver. Try a good, old fashioned, small town hardware stor

- The best advice I have had is to use the tool for removing tops of paint cans--the handle with a little lip/hook at its other end. Pull--don't twist-- and it does not touch the fender paint. This to
