The Headlamp Adjuster Kit is an OE-style restoration hardware set designed for 1968–1974 GM X-Body vehicles, including Chevy II, Nova, Pontiac Ventura II, Oldsmobile Omega, and Buick Apollo models. This 10-piece kit restores the correct factory method for mounting and aiming the headlamp assemblies, ensuring proper headlight alignment and secure attachment within the headlamp bucket. It is an essential component for classic muscle car restoration parts projects where front-end accuracy and detail-correct hardware matter.
From the factory, GM X-Body vehicles used specific adjusters to allow precise headlamp positioning. Over time, original adjusters are frequently missing, stripped, rusted, or replaced with incorrect hardware during front-end repairs or repainting. Improper or worn adjusters can make accurate headlight alignment difficult and detract from an otherwise correct restoration. This kit addresses those issues by supplying OE-style components designed to match original specifications.
Manufactured as an OE-style reproduction, these headlamp adjusters match factory dimensions, thread pitch, and engagement characteristics. They are intended for use with original-style headlamp buckets and mounting locations, helping restore the correct relationship between the headlamp, grille, and front sheet metal. Accurate adjusters are especially important on 1968–1974 X-Body vehicles, where headlamp alignment is highly visible and closely tied to front-end fit and finish.
This kit includes 10 pieces, providing the necessary components to service both sides of the vehicle depending on application. It is well-suited for complete front-end restorations, headlamp bucket replacement, or detail-correct refurbishing of original components.
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
