LMC headlight adjusters are crap

So I ordered all the nylon headlight door fastening nuts and new headlight adjusters for my 69 grill, and I have to say that the nylon pieces were very difficult to get in without damaging something and I am quite dissapointed with the adjusters. I had two that when I installed the bucket and tightened them up to adjust, the little metal tabs that hold them in bent completely backwards and the adjuster popped out, just from normal adjusting! My originals had good metal but rotten plastic, so I used the original metal clip with the new plastic and that worked well, but geez are these new ones made out of tin or what?? I was going to buy anti rattle kits, mechanisms, and seals for my doors through them, but now I'm not sure if I want to.

Have any of you had similar problems with LMC stuff?

I have heard some horors stories.

For the most part if you can get them from Dennis Carpenter or NPD Do it.

Also Flash1 is Tom From Flashback F100's I'd bet he has some originals in good order.

Warning!!! LMC!!!!

Be for I found out about Dc and NPD I got my stuff from lmc.

I got there Anti rattle kits and the rubber kit

The anti rattle was rusted two days after I got them in!! The back glass rubber DON"T EVEN ASK.

Get your your stuff from NPD OR DC I woud say get your antti rattle from Dc. Most of NPD parts are from Dc but there antti rattle is not. One thing getting from npd you get dc parts but with any orders over 300$ is free shipping!! dc does not have Free Shipping! So 90% of my parts are from dc but orderd from Npd
