    Shipping to Canada is $3.00

    The fitment on these is the following headlight assemblies:

    65 to 67 Euro
    65 to 67 USA
    68 to 73 Sugarscoops (and probably quite a few more years after that, need to look deeper on that).
    H4, all years with standard chrome trim ring (not with painted ring cover I believe).
    H1, all years

    tks!

    Yes, I combine the shipping cost, one screw to four screws is the same amount, might go up a bit after that as it's first class shipping by the ounce.

    Paypal is just fine to autoforeign@gmail.com

    Thank you from Auto Foreign

    Hi Eric

    I got a little excited seeing your repo screw to attach the headlight rings, from memory my sugar scoop screws were pooched (striped) I knew they had that shape and being chrome to boot but then as Cliff asked are they for H1 or H4 made me think the shoulder part on the screw that I did not recall on them so I dug out my NOS sugar scoops to see what size the hole was on them and to make sure that the hole would allow the shoulder part through, and low an behold they had the screws on them I didn't know they were on them been in storage for years.
    I'm not saying they won't work for the sugar scoops but I need to know the dia. of the shoulder as the hole is 1/4" or 6.35mm on the scoops. The total length on the NOS scoop screws are only 3/4" 19mm. I like the ideal of the plastic washer for between the screw and trim ring, and also the black buffer washer as it would stop the over tightening of the screw. I also think the 27mm or 1" length wouldn't be an issue either as there is lots of room behind. I put up a couple of photos.
    Let me know the shoulder dia. I still may use your screws.

    Hopper, thanks for the post!

    Now I know why there's another screw on the market. You can buy "your" screw in black only from the usual guys, it's 5mm x 18mm. Mine is 5mm x 27mm. I tried using that black screw like you have on my h4's but it didn't work as it wasn't long enough to grab the threads with the bushing on it and plastic washer.

    So, yes, my screw will work fine on Sugar Scoops, but you don't need it as you already have screws that work fine.

    Here's a picture of the black screw for Sugar Scoops available from Sierra Madre (one of my best customers!) for $3.04, it's available in black only but you can either have it chromed or use chrome paint on the tip.

    Sorry, but I don't sell the plastic nylon washer or buffer separately.

    Hope this post answers some questions. And I've also replaced the picture in my first post with the screw in the ring as the screws are actually more polished in appearance on the head than in the pics.

    tks,
    Eric
