    headlight adjustment screw crimps

    does anyone know where to get how how to make thes crimps that hold the headlight adjustment screws on for early headlights?

    if one were to rechrome some headlight rings, how would he go about reattaching the screw like this?

    those are the rubber adjustment bushings.. i use 1/8 fuel line for that, works perfect.






    What i need are the washer like crimps that hold the adjustment screws in place, and keep them connected to the chrome ring (and not slide out).

    find two nuts that fit on the threaded shaft, run them down and tighten so that they lock together.

    thats what i ended up doing with the set i restored a few years ago. was thinking something a bit more 'correct' but that works i guess.
