Title: 1961 Cadillac Headlight aiming screw
Post by: 61Caddy9090 on July 22, 2022, 06:10:04 PM
Looking for new aiming screw/assembly for my 61 Series 62.  Old plastic sleeves are cracked (non-functional). I need 8.

Thank you!!

Had same issue with my 60. Ace Hardware had some plastic anchors for dry wall that when cut and modified "customized" worked. If no one has an original set, this is worth a try.

Don't you love those? You might try those "Help" branded packs at the local parts house.

Caddy Daddy appears to have what you need, for a reasonable price.

I don't think those are unique to cadillac. Search for Chevy also.

readily available in repro/new plus the springs, etc.  Check around for prices.  They fit many models, as the headlight buckets weren't made by the auto makers.
