I dont surpose some good samaritan would like to send me a couple of headlight screws? The ones that hold the headlight in at the bottom of the ring on a late bug or T3?
My Square is a 69.
I seem to be missing some on the squareback.
Will happily cover the postage.
Cheers.

Guys, The screw I was very kindly sent is the wrong one.
I still have a loose headlight.
Anyone else got a spare screw they can send? (at my cost of course)
Cheers!

Mate if it the ones that hold the headlight to the car I am sure i have a few. Take a measurement and I will send you two.

If you have one (or even a shorter one) take it to a nuts and bolts shop and they will be able to match them. I have taken heaps of bolts etc into them and always walked out with exactly what I need for the fastie and the baja.

they should be the same as on a beetle headlamp
1968-76 as chromed ring is the same..
they are a special screw.. c/sunk head [phillips]
stainless steel 5mm metric fine thread
measured end to end is 51mm long
on the early beetles 1968>
the screw was held in the chrome ring by a metal sleeve
later ones were loose...
the type 3 screws should be the same... IMHO
they have a phillips head countersunk [stainless steel]
and are 5mm OD x 51mm long end to end
there is a locating bit on the end to find the threaded hole
sorry, I couldn't post a pic camera is acting up...?
