The mod in a nutshell is basically this; seperate the headlight door hinge from the headlight door and seperate the grille work from the headlight door and then mount the grille work to the headlight door hinge(both sides).
That is not too bad to do, the hard part is to be able to secure the headlight door hinge/grille work and then still be able to adjust the high and low headlights as needed.
I have a couple of ideas on how to do that and I am in the process of obtaining parts to test those ideas. While I wait for parts to arrive I have been cleaning up, removing rust from various areas of the passenger and driver side radiator grille assemblies.
I was able to install the lower heim joints and bolts that will allow adjustment of the headlight door hinge/grille work assembly. As soon as I pick up the 1/4-28 threaded rods and cut to fit, I should be able to connect the lower heim joint to the upper heim joint which attaches to the headlight door hinge/grille work assembly.

| driver side: heim joint mounted and spacers to prevent side to side movement |
 |
| passenger side: the painted bolt is used to mount the vacuume motor. The heim joint is mounted to a bolt with the spacers you see so that the movement from side to side is minimized. |
