Reply to "Headlight Stone Guard's"

As cool and "Period Correct" as my antique mesh screens look, they are mounted to the headlight trim with knurled knobs at the top, and the headlight bezel screw at the bottom.

  The knurled knob expects to have a stud threaded into it which would then screw into a captive nut or Pemnut behind the chrome light bezel.  Since this was a retrofit, that didn't happen - no way to weld a nut to the backside of the bezel without scorching the bezel - And to get behind the glass, you have to take half of the headlight apart.  No big deal, because if you pull the entire headlight assembly out as a unit, the H4 bulb access is right there on the back.

If you find a screen or guard that simply clips to the top sides of the bezel, clears the existing glass and then is secured with the screw at the bottom, you've got a big win.

Thanks Gordon.....sounds like this configuration is the best of both worlds!
