1955-57 Headlight Bucket Restoration
Article By Randy Irwin
Time Frame: 2 Hours
The headlight buckets are completely unglamorous items that just have to be there and hold the headlights in place. But, if one of the components in the buckets fails you are in trouble. The result is unadjustable or wiggly headlights that may point to the sky on one side and down at the bumper on the other. Each bucket has two adjusting screws and a spring that is used to adjust the headlight. In this article we will rebuild an original headlight bucket which can be done with simple hand tools. It sure is gratifying to bring an old original part back to life!
