Thanks.

I'll have to order a set soon, since mine is totally ruined. Great idea with the 3d printing!

79-85 Headlight actuator arm bushing replacement!!!

All, I am sorry to say that my printers motherboard fried today. I will not be able to provide bushings any longer for the time being. I have one set of headlight bushings left in stock. I do not know when I will be able to get the printer back up, the motherboard is rather expensive.

Of course when I got the kit i realized the motors on my current 7 only make a sound like they're closing a bit hard but other than that no other noise so I must have been thinking about my 82. But either way this is a must have kit with these cars cause you never know when these 30+ year old machines will have a problem. .... especially with something as necessary as your headlights! Everyone should have a spare set of these. Thanks again kutukutu1!

Awesome, I have been waiting for these to come available again. I never realized how bad mine were until I relayed my headlights a while back.. I aimed the lights and shut them off, and when I flipped them back up they were way off from the tape lines I had adjusted them to on the garage door. My bushings are shot, going to place an order now!

Hey guys. It pains me to see members that are out of the state pay an exorbitant amount to ship the bushings international or not get them at all. If anyone that is international wants to help out the local community and get a bunch of bushings so the members in that country do not have to pay the high shipping cost, please PM me. I am willing to work with you for a lower cost. Thanks.
