Is there a angle bracket that you mount to the grill shell, then bolt the headlight to that, or does the stud of the light go through the grill shell? Im just wondering what was factory. Thanks [Reply]   [No Email]

Wire from the lights and the light switch are connected on an insulated threaded stud in the fan shroud on the left side of the radiator, Hope this helps. Paul [Reply]  [No Email]

The stud in the lamp is hollow so the wire can run through it. They could be hard to find, unless you buy OEM, which last I knew was MEGA $$$$$$$$$$$ ! [Reply]  [No Email]

It does not screw into the rad shroud as there is no place to tap threads. There are jam nuts on both sides of the rad shroud. [Reply]  [No Email]

But originally there was a little threaded piece of metal spot welded to the inside of the radiator flange. [Reply]  [No Email]
