I have a stripped headlight adjustment screw, the head stripped out. Does anyone know what the thread size and length is? I think I can get it out, but I will trash it, I would like to have a replacement screw ready to go in immediately after taking out the bad screw.

 

No one can help with this? I would really appreciate the help if someone knows the thread size.

 

I just attempted what you’re trying to do. After you get the bolt freed up so they turn, the bolts heads themselfs are rounded so they swivel and kind of (push) snap fitted in to the plastic housing. More likely than not you are going to crack or break those plastic holders, I got one outa four. You’re not out anything for trying but I ended up getting two used assy.. from a junkyard for about $20.00 each. Ill take a look tonight when I get home and find out the thread and pitch.

 

Thanks for the response crazy_dave.

 

Sorry for the late reply.
This bolt is a weird size indeed. It’s an oddball English size, 12-28. I don’t think you’re going to find it at your local hardware store. The closest I could come up with was an M6 -.90mm An M6-1mm is a tad big but you’re going into plastic so it may work.

Good luck and post back with your findings.

 

Thanks for the info. I will see what I can find.

Working a lot of OT and have other projects right now. Will take a look ASAP though.

Thanks again for the info and effort you made to get me the info.
