914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Adjusting headlight front trim panel
Posted by: gturner008 Apr 26 2020, 08:11 AM
Hello everyone. A newbie question.
I’m trying to work out how to adjust the position of the panel that sits in front of the headlights. Both are sitting too rearward of the hood and are slightly misaligned.
How do you go about adjusting these? Many thanks. Gary

Are you referring to the "eyebrows" between the headlight covers and the bumper top?
If so, use "eyebrow" in the search - here's a few to get you started:

These headlight covers have no adjustment,the headlights do however,these can be moved around a bit but don't expect perfect gaps on a car build in the 70's,good luck.

Thank you - that answered my question. The hood, fenders and lights are a perfect fit. Great shut lines. If the trim can’t be adjusted, I’ll live with the slight difference.
Many thanks. Appreciate the post.

I swapped out the 2 inner rubber fasteners for actual threaded fasteners with large flat washers. This now gives you yet another adjustment feature with the eyebrow. I must say the alignment I got is damn good.
