New Montecarlo Scorpion Tail light Screws

[Scorpionista]

During the restoration of my 77 Scorpion, I had to deal with most of the 12 tail light screws being damaged upon removal. UV sun damage, vibration and over tightening seem to cause the plastic screw heads to crack or break.

I've made a set of 12 alloy bushings with stainless steel screws/washers that replace the red, amber or clear plastic capped OEM pieces.

Other suppliers are selling the OEM style screws for $4.75 to $5.50 US each plus shipping, but unfortunately not all the colors are available.

If any one is interested, let me know. I can make a set of 12 for $50 plus $5 shipping in the US.

They fit perfectly, will not break due to sun damage, vibration, over tightening or get stuck trying to remove them.

Altho you have a permanent solution to those lense screws the
REAL ones: plastic amber, clear & red are always on E-Bay. I
got a set of 12 with an extra amber, clear & red screw for $25
w/shipping recently. Novel idea you have . . . hope you sell some.

Glad you found them on ebay, in all my searching I've never run across new ones listed there. At the price you paid, I would have bought them instead of making them.

Just trying to offer a better solution. Bayless, MonteHospital and Ed on this forum sell them at $5 to $6 each but not in all the OEM colors.
