    53-55 Headlight bezel Mounting

    Does anyone have a schematic of the headlamp bezel and screen mounting procedure for 53-5? The top of the bezel appears to use some type of clip since the hole at the bottom would allow a screw to tighten the bezel in place.
    A picture says a thousand words but if someone can explain the process I'd appreciate it. Who makes the parts needed or where can they be found?
    Thanks

    at the bottom is a #8 chrome philips screw

    at the top is a clip that is held to the bezel with two short machine screws
    That clip slides into a slot on the head light mount - there is a tang that sticks out

    Sandwiched between the bezel and the potmetal bucket is the screen.

      Where can I get the clip that goes at the top?
