66 headlight bucket assembly

[Bill H.]

I am reasembling my 66 before it goes to paint. we took the headlight buckets apart but didn't mark pivot asm left and right. on page f211 of the assemblt manual it shows the parts but not which is left or right. It lists part # 3845789-90 pivot asm outer l & rh, and 3845791-2 pivot asm inner l &rh. I believe that left would be 789 and 791, and right 790 and 792.
the inners are different because of the motor shaft direction.
does this make sense to anyone else. would hate to reassemble after paint.
thanks

While it is not across the board, it does apply to most parts.

On the HL pivots, it is pretty easy to tell though. Some have the adjustment mount stands for the HL capsule assemblies, and some dont. You can tell if they are correct by looking at the position of the stands. Each assembled HL bucket will have two stands and one spring on each capsule assembly.
