252 & 254 Headlight Mounting

[j.mel]

Is the bracket inside the engine shell of a 252 & 254 engine suppose to have its pointed end bent over the square insulated mounting tab to hold the head light contact in place.

 Most of these I have seen are only partially bent over, some not at all. What is the purpose of these "tabs"?

Thanks

John

John,

 

     You are correct. The brackets are designed to bend over the bottom of the headlight contacts and hold them in place.
