65 headlight bucket repair??
Just been looking for the best way to fix this problem, seems there is a metal bracket that is glued in with JB weld, that does not seem to hold for too long. Does anyone have any better solutions to fix this issue?
Re: 65 headlight bucket repair??
That top section is commonly broken - you need a new pot metal bucket (that has not broken / cracked yet).
Note: You can drill a hole through the lower part that has separated and use a screw into the body of the car to force it into place and hold it there.

I will someday think of something clever to say.

I just posted on the other site about fixing it with a screw as boof mentioned. Everything I read about the jb weld fix said it failed again pretty quickly so I didn't bother.
