Bingo! That is exactly what I need. Those little black pieces! I'm not
sure why I didn't check ebay, I guess my brain was too cold from
working in the garage :) <br>
<br>
Anyway, thanks to all who responded and especially Duff!<br>

Do the nuts need to be plastic? If not then that would open up your
options. Otherwise perhaps somewhere like fastenal might be of help.
They certainly would have a larger selection than Lowes etc.

I don't know what shape you need but maybe you could just cut a piece
of scrap nylon and tap it for the thread?<br>

<pre><span>In my continued quest for get my Lotus ready for spring travel, I'm
currently redoing the headlight buckets. There are two adjusters in each
bucket. On one of mine, both of the nylon (or plastic?) nuts that fit
into the headlight bucket are broken. Does anyone know if these are
available? I've checked the local parts stores and the ones that they
have are WAY too big. All I really need is the nylon part, I still have
both of the screws.
So, any suggestions?
