    I am looking into having the plastic headlight covers installed on a 1972 Dino 246GT. I have located the headlight covers at "reoriginals" but they do not sell any of the hardware for installation. Does anybody know of a supplier for this? Thanks.

    My 1972 246 GT has the plexy covers and it looks like home made aluminum hardware. One of these days I will redo with stainless. You may have to fabricate them your self. These covers really make the car. Gary

    Thanks Gary.
    An independent shop gave me the same information, however, it appears to me from all of the photos that the same mounting hardware is uniformly used. Nothing worth pursuing is ever easy.

    Just start with a small bit and work your way up. Make sure hole in cover is bigger that attaching bolt. Those Dino brackets should be easy to Fab.
    Here's how it was done on 0846.

    You may want to try Ferrari UK, as the covers were a non cost option in the UK
