Headlamp Mounting Panel

Anyone know of a good supplier for these? Finally got around to replacing my broken one and the replacement does not fit well at all. The only way to get it to fit is to pull it out about 1/4 inch and then the studs will fall into the fenders. It is VERY tight and I also noticed a crack in it so I need to get a new one. Has anyone else run into this issue? The one on the car now just slips into place with no hassle (only the center mount tabs are cracked and broken) . I would assume a new one should fit the same without stretching to reach the fender holes.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Headlamp Mounting Panel

I replaced the Headlight Mount Panel on my 1988 IROC recently. The original was damaged in the center where the mounting studs are. It was cracked and the mounting studs were missing. I purchased an after market product from www.hawksthirdgenparts.com. It cost $101.00 but the shipping charge was $55.00. I can only say the one I purchased fit exactly without much effort. It's made of a different material than the original but worked fine.
