Another project for tonight! Those of you with NAs might know of this catastrophe; those headlamp lid and bucket fasteners! From the first photo, you can see how it seized and become a rod rather than the screw it was born to be... I guess you could say, it got 'screwed' :D *hides under something tomato resistant!* Screwy jests aside (hah! I'm on a roll!), I'm tapping the holes to 6x1.0mm from the OE 5x1.0mm that way I have fresh metal to work with. Then I went to Menards and purchased 8 6x16mm sockethead cap machine screws (part# 81671 or UPC# 7-38287 81671-6). This should be fun! #restorationhardware #headlights #poplights #popupheadlights #rusty #strippedthreads #miata #mazda #mx5 #jdm #hid #retrofitsource (at Stone Meadows Subdivision)
