Product Reviews for Shaft Bushings - Grille / Headlight Eyelid Door - PAIR - Repro ~ 1969

International Customers Click Here [Updated 1/2024]

UK Customers / EU Customers

We are using a new shipping service where international shipments now include the Duties/Tax/Fees, so currently we can not offer USPS/Mail Innovations if the order is over 135GBP/150EUR, since USPS can not pay duties/taxes. If the order is less than 135GBP/150EUR, we can pay the taxes directly to the EU/UK and we can ship USPS/Mail Innovations*. All orders over 135GBP/150EUR have to ship UPS/DHL so we can use DDP to cover the Duties/Tax/Fees. This has allowed us to resume shipments of any value to the UK and EU.

TIP: You will likely be able to ship your order for less cost if you ship any items over 135GBP/150EUR on one order via UPS, then break the rest of the order up into orders of less than 135GBP/150EUR.

By breaking your orders up into less than 135GBP/150EUR:

you will avoid the import duties on those orders
less expensive shipping methods are available
you will avoid some UPS fees

Canadian Customers

We have worked with UPS to waive some of the brokerage fees. The rates shown now include all UPS fees. We have also added DHL, which offers lower cross boarder fees.

Our shipping provider has added Duties Prepaid options for US Postal Service options to Canada. This has allowed us to resume USPS shipments to Canada.

However, beware that this is a new process for the Post Office, so sometimes Canada Post shows the duties and taxes COD, when they are actually prepaid. If this happens, first inform Canada Post that the shipment was sent duties prepaid (DDP). If they still require you to pay the duties before delivery, please contact us.

US Postal Service (USPS)

Our new international shipping system supports international shipments via USPS only if the order total (including shipping to most countries) is below the Duty/Tax De Minimis for your country (View De Minimis Chart).
Exceptions:
UK orders upto 135GBP
EU orders upto 150EUR

The US Postal Service (USPS) has suspended services to over a dozen countries (see complete list).
UPS Worldwide Services \ DHL Worldwide can still be delivered to these locations.

4.96 stars, based on 7 reviews

Repro bushings (pair) that mount to the grille for the headlamp operating shafts. 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,...

Pros:

Tight fit

Cons:

difficult to istall

Very tight fit, and difficult to install; that said, followed recommendation of sanding the shafts and applied white lithium grease. Haven't tested yet due to wiring issue with headlights, but looks like the bushings will work fine.

Pros:

Nice quality bushings
Eliminate metal squeal

Like the add relates, you never see these in place because they break and fall out. Nice quality bushings that eliminate the metal-on-metal squeal when headlights open. Keeps the shaft in proper alignment.
