We had the same problem, could not find the plastic pieces, so we just used a aluminum standoff (which is threaded internally.) worked like a champ....

here is a link to a picture, just get one good plastic part then go on the hunt for the correct length standoff and your adjustment problems will be over and no more dry rotting plastic. Kieth

Re: grille headlight buckets

I got the plastic pieces at Pep Boys just make sure that you get the ones with the screws included. I think you will have to by the buckets separately. I would just call the company you are ordering them from and they can tell you. If they sell the grill they will probably sell the buckets.
