Sorry, I seem to be hogging this area of the forums lately. I'm having a hard time locating a new headlamp header. Mine did separate from the body. No rivets just attached with bonding agent. Any ideas where to track one down and what I should use to rebond, let me know.

I've contacted Ecklers and CC and they haven't responded.

Hey Dave,
|UPDATED|8/4/2014 6:51:07 PM (AZT)|/UPDATED|
I replaced the 81's header in 2007. It actually fell off.
Bought new from Eckler's for $75.99, Part # 26210
I sanded the underbody where the old header was originally bonded.
It wasn't too much work using course sandpaper especially on the big globs.
I gently sanded the flanges on the header.
Did some research and bought Lord - Fusor Adhesion Prep cleaner. $15.71,
Fusor 127/T24 EZ Plastic structural installation adhesive, slow set $45.18.
Also bought the Lord - Fusor special dispensor gun $41.95 for the Lord- Fusor adhesive.
PM me if you want to borrow. Cheap rates apply!

Jeff, I just might take you up on that!
I'm not going to fix this little problem until I get back from Carlisle and the Caravan, maybe pick parts up there. Plus, who knows what else I'll find once I get get things broken down(I sense a headlight rebuild).
