The Headlamp Adjuster Kit is an OE-style restoration hardware set designed for 1968–1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, Malibu, and El Camino models. This 20-piece kit restores the factory-correct method for mounting and aiming sealed-beam headlamps, allowing precise alignment and secure retention within the headlamp buckets. It is a critical detail for classic muscle car restoration parts projects where front-end accuracy and correct hardware are essential.
From the factory, GM A-Body vehicles used specific adjuster hardware to position the headlamps correctly relative to the grille, bezels, and surrounding sheet metal. Over time, original adjusters are often stripped, corroded, missing, or replaced with incorrect fasteners during repainting or front-end repairs. Improper adjusters can make accurate headlight aiming difficult and detract from an otherwise correct restoration. This kit addresses those issues by supplying OE-style components matched to original specifications.
Manufactured as an OE-style reproduction, these headlamp adjusters match factory dimensions, thread pitch, and engagement characteristics. They are intended for use with original-style headlamp buckets and factory mounting locations, helping restore the correct relationship between the headlamps and front-end components. Accurate adjuster hardware is especially important on 1968–1970 A-Body vehicles, where headlamp alignment is highly visible and closely tied to overall front-end fit and finish.
This kit includes 20 pieces, providing the necessary hardware to service both sides of the vehicle depending on application. It is well-suited for complete front-end restorations, headlamp bucket replacement, or detail-correct refurbishment of original components on Chevelle, Malibu, and El Camino models.
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
