It's nice to know that once in awhile dorman can get it right. Not all of their stuff is good but this fits exactly perfectly and is identical to the original adjustment screws for the headlight. Kudos to them for getting the right part. Excellent deal get them while you can cheaper than any restoration place.

Purchased these for a 1996 International 9200 SBA I restored. They are listed for GMC pickups but we’re identical to the rusted old ones I removed.They fit well in the original holes and worked perfectly for headlamp anchoring and adjustment for the OEM headlamp bucket/assembly.

I have a 1995 Ford B800 and wanted to replace the old H6054 sealed beam hadlamps with newer Hella H4 conversions for an upgrade in brightness. Since the H4 conversions came with new buckets, I figured I'd go ahead and replace everything around the headlamp too, which was the right call because it was all rusted out and the existing adjusters were useless.In preparation for the change, I ordered a pair of these and a pair of the Dorman 42185 adjusters, as I wasn't sure which would fit for my application. I saw a review for these that mentioned they worked on a 98 Ford, but the 42185s looked closer to the original part. For five bucks a set I figured I'd order both and couldn't go wrong. Turns out they both worked, and I used both sets to replace the four adjusters on the bus, but these were slightly thinner than the 42185s and while they fit, they had a little more wiggle to them before being tightened. Can't comment on the long term quality, but hopefully these will be a set-and-forget for quite a few years. If I was more worried about corrosion I probably would have applied grease or anti-sieze to the threads, but it's a California car now and we don't see too much in the way of serious rust out here.TL;DR: These work ok in 1995 Ford medium duty buses and trucks with cowl hoods, but you'd be better off with the Dorman 42185 kit. Cheers!

Used for an 85 chevy headlights, they fit great. Not stiff plastic or brittle but has flexible tabs that will help to keep in place.Great product, much better than what you get from auto parts brick and mortar stores.
