65 Head Light Bucket Crack Fix

[65-408]

Following the direction of several others on this site, I have performed the headlight bucket crack fix, but instead of using a sheet metal screw, I used a Riv-nut (basically a rivet that is internally threaded), thought I would show another option. Seemed to work well. Also added them to the secure the buckets to the front valance, seems like it should have been attached there from the factory…

Riv-nuts and insertion tool:

Not perfect, but workable...

+1 You must be a patient man. I get all wrapped up in the work and forget pictures.
