Does any one make or sell the bolts to mount the D-series fender headlights? I need 2 bolts to replace some rusty stripped out old ones. Thanks!

I'll post a picture in a few days. I've managed to salvage a few. I think the bolt itself can still be found without the hole through it, so that is a good start. Check with local industrial suppliers. If they carry them, you would just have to drill a hole through them.

I needed a couple headlight bolts once. I got the lowest grade bolt at the hardware store and drilled right down the center with a drill press.

A 1/2" plow bolt with a hole drilled down the center.

or a carriage bolt will work great too.

I've used both.
