Having received my rebuilt headlight motors , I decided that this would be the perfect time to make sure the buckets are aligned correctly . They will never be this easy again !
Closed position is easy to figure ! Open on the other hand , not so much. After reading through tons of archives and finding nothing, I went to the AIM and the CSM .
The Service manual says : "Adjust so that mounting face of panel is within 2 degrees of vertical "
While the AIM says: "Adjust so that MTG. Face of the PNL. Asm. is within 2 degrees vertical with PNL. ASM. in a full open position."
So what I take away from that is I should complete the assembly by installing the " BEZEL " which I assume is the "MOUNTING FACE" even though I have not set the headlights up yet . Fine ! So how does one come up to a + or - 2 degrees of vertical on buckets with or without bezels , that have no discernible straight surfaces ? And what sort of measuring devise might one use to determine that elusive degree or two ?
