Posted by: abnrdo Apr 2 2011, 03:38 AM

Anyone have a good source for the entire side marker assembly? I specifically need buckets. When the tab broke off on my drivers side assembly the PO just screwed it to the fender. BAH! Now I ahve a hole to fix as well.

Just getting things lined up so I have plenty of work to do when I get back to the states.

Side marker on the .... well, side, or turn signal? "Bucket" to me sounds like turn signal/

I have to install side markers too and there are 2 funny little ... "snaps" for lack of better description, that, push in the hole from inside the fender then hold the side marker base (not bucket ) to the fender by expanding (???) once they are through the base. Hard to describe but I'd bet the holders-on are NLA if you could even find a part number. When I install mine, I'm gonna use some nylon/plastic bolts and nuts I bought at Home Depot that I think will do nicely.

I believe they are NLA. Anyone completed a 6 conversion and still have the side marker lights? PM me. Both mine are broken. Although, some nylong/plastic bolts and nuts might just work.

nylon bolts and nut do work. They have been holding one of my side markers on for several years now.

I used plastic pop rivets on mine.
