I have a 88 GTA and was in the process of replacing the driver's side headlight motor bushings, I got some metal bushings off ebay... so I got everthing off and put in the new bushings but forgot the wat the washers on the inside are supposed to go... I thought I figured it out. But, it didn't work and now I think Ive screwed myself by snaping a bolt on the head itself... Please help me if you can. I'll drill out the holes and rebolt if need be but I need to know about the washers first. Thanks alot... no urgency, it's just my daily driver and my truck is shot... SARCASM!!! ITS URGENT!!!

Give this a shot. See if this helps. Let me know?

 

Here's a good PDF file for you as well. GOOD LUCK!

 

Thanks for the info, it should come in handy... but it didn't fully answer the positions of the spacers/ washers... I guess I'll just give it another go.

 

Might want to contact Lon at TDS ... he knows a lot about these things.

 

Thanks for the replies.. with the website and pdf supplied I was able to figure out the order and everything works great. I went and re drilled the holes for the upper portion of the motor and rebolted and gasketed everything... you should see the amount of torque that suckers got now lol!!! Now Im debating doing the passenger side evven though it doesn't need to be done yet... hmm...

Oh and I can say that the "upgrade kit" with metal bushings rather than plastic for under $10 was def. worth it. I doubt I'll ever have to replace them again. If the motor goes it wont be the bearings so I'll have to get another one!

Once again thanks for the responses, good looking out!
