Ahhhh Pat, my good friend.
Finally we are back to cars instead of chasing suace mixes.
Okay, there is supposed to be a little tab as you describe. This tab fits
into what looks like two half arrows sitting side by side. Not real easy
to get the tab in.
First, the headlight ring has to be hooked on the lip of the headlight
bucket at the top and then the tab inserted in the clip by pushing
straight in on the bottom of the ring.
I have a couple of rings off a 64 TR4, originals. I polished them up
about 4 yeara ago and then covered them with masking tape to keep them
clean and prevent rusting. I would imagine the tape will be a bear to get
off, probably have to use carb cleaner or lacquer thinner. If you want
them, I'll take $10, AND YOU PAY THE SHIPPING. But, that is in case you
can't use the ones you have.
What else can we do for you on this repair cycle?
Best Regards,
Tony
