I am looking for a pair of good NACO Tail Light Studs. Maybe someone out there has a housing that is beyond repair but the studs are salvageable???

Greg were you able to break them free of the housing with out damage ? I've bought parts taillamps with broken off studs and always thought about just swapping with carriage bolts.

Bob,
What did you end up using? I have a later set with the studs orientated 180 off. I was going to remove them, TIG weld the holes and install in the correct orientation. Don't know if the old ones will survive being removed and relocated. I like the carriage bolt idea. Micah

Oh man, dunno if I can remember. I do know I had a pair of original lights - ALA or NACO I don't recall. Two of the studs were bad and I got them out without ruining the body of the light. Took one of the good studs to the hardware store and found some that matched. As far as I remember the studs protrude horizontally .... parallel with the road.

I am looking for a pair of these!
Hamhog just posted them on Tech Questions and Answers. For those looking for a replacement for broken taillight studs, I'm providing pictures and measurements of an original part. I don't think this belongs in the parts list, but if I'm wrong, feel free to move it. Type: Self-Clinching Overall Length: 1" Thread Length: 25/32" Square Neck: 3/32" (square measures 3/8" x 3/8" square at the narrowest point) Head: 4/32" (rounded flat head, diameter= 9/16") Threads: 1/4"-20 Material: ?maybe aluminum, seems lighter that steel? Thanks Dave! |

I could make them for you out of steel if you’re unable to find them.

Does a magnet stick to the originals?

I can only imagine the concours car show judge saying " everything looks great except the makeup of those taillight studs, they just don't seem to be right".
Good job Lee. |

Sure does. So maybe it’s just the coating they put on the metal gives it an appearance of being an aluminum alloy. Cadmium or whatever it was???
