NOS shaft bushing for the grille / headlight eyelid door for the Mercury Cougar, a handfull of other Mercurys, Lincoln and a few Pontiacs. This NOS bushing mounts to the grille for the headlamp operating shafts. New in the Ford box, these hardly ever survive after 40 years. Technically not needed, and most never knew they existed. Sold as a pair, one for each side.
When mounted these are tight, it was no wonder they are seldom seen on cars. Even the NOS bushings are tight. We recommend polishing the headlight shaft with emery or sand paper, to make both sides smooth. Definitely add a little bit of lubricant too.
Ford part # C9AZ-13A164-A.
