Headlightproblems

I tried to fasten my sealed beams but discovered that there are only 2 bolts. Is it correct?! Or shall there maybe be some kind of spring. They only shines at the moon at the moment. Maybe inspired by me howling at the moon some nights.

You're talking about the bolts (screws) that hold the headlight buckets to the radiator support, right? Yes, from what I remember, there's a spring on one side. One screw aims it up & down, the other aims it left & right.

Correct. Is it some spring that fits all sealed beam? Or just slick-66?? Not plenty of spare parts in sweden.

lots of fords use the same springs. they are tiny, only about 1 1/2 " long at the most but very stiff. might ask at your local auto parts or even a junkyard if theres one close by you.
otherwise if you cant find any i can send you a couple, cost of shipping those even from Alaska to Sweden should not be very much at all.

That would make me very happy. I tried the local speedshop but they didnt have a clue where to find these springs. I write you a pm.
