    does the bolt screw in to a speed nut? i think it does but i cant remember off the top of my head. if so, part # n 901 686 04 will probably work.

    Re: headlight question

    I accidently cross threaded my headlight bolt in and it got so tight that the metal sleeve turned right out of the plastic radiator support. There was just a big hole where it was so what i did was found a nut that had the same threads of the headlight screw and put it under the lip of the rad support then screwed the screw in. You cant even tell that anythings wrong, it just makes it a little more of a pain when getting the headlights out but i deal with it.

    yea. now that i think about it more it is one of those threaded sleeves. i couldnt remember exactly. i looked in etka but didnt see it listed separately. it may be but its been so long since i used etka on a day to day basis i cant find items like i used to.
