    Technically not an ad (not that I can post one anyways).

    7 years ago one of the plastic pieces on my 328's pop-up headlamps linkage broke, leaving me with only one headlight. The plastic pieces only come as a part of the linkage assembly - and would you really want a piece of new old-stock plastic after almost 40 years, even if you could find them?

    If anyone needs a new set of those plastic pieces (the rod-ends on the adjuster), I modeled them and printed them professionally out of Nylon. They have been on the car for 7 years and 40,000 miles with no signs of distress. This is a link to the model, which is free to download and have printed in whatever way you want:

    Awesome work but the greater compliment is driving 40K Miles in 7 years. Good for you!

    If you put rod end bearing in the search you will find what you need
