1986 SVO headlight clips?

[Sick Puppy]

I had a local guy contact me and he his looking for the "metal clips" that hold the headlights in.

Being a four-eyed guy I wasn't quite sure what he meant and it's too nasty here to go looking outside.:(

Can anyone enlighten me (pics?) and possibly give me a source for the "clips"?

Thanks, Paul

National Parts Depot has them.

National Parts Depot has them.

Thanks, Kendal

I searched in the catalog, couldn't find them (of course I'm not sure what I'm looking for).

What are they actually called or do you have a part number?

Paul, these aren't the "correct" clips, but they work. Sourced them from an early 90's era Escort with similar head light assemblies:

There is one long one and two small ones per side.

Many thanks to both of you.

I have some correct SVO clips that I'd be willing to sell, PM me for details. If you want a picture, let me know.

Found a long clip in my parts box. Free to first person. I'll pay the postage too.

Here are some close-up pictures of the correct clips. The single clip was pulled from one of my '86 SVOs.

Thanks Dave! That confirms they look like crap fresh out of the original packaging.

I thought I had heard at one time they were also used on the Aerostar headlights too back in the day?

Mitch,
Sorry to dissapoint but the single clip in the photo above is off one of my SVOs...the original packaging is unopened.


Thanks Dave! That confirms they look like crap fresh out of the original packaging.
