    Hey guys.... I have a 71 GS and have tried a few times to carefully install the Headlight Bezel Nuts I bought at one of the Buick repro stores. However, they don't seem to hold very well. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if any one else has had the same problem. I'm about to epoxy these bad boys on! Any ideas?

    Make sure the splinter pin is pushing the back side apart to hold it in the support

    .....and make sure the screws are the right size too.

    Thanks guys... I ended up turning them an 1/8th of a turn as one member suggested and wallaaah! Tight as heck.... Just hope they can withstand the rumble of a strong 455!
