Pivot to Perfection: 1963–1967 Corvette C2 Headlight Housing Pivot Shaft – Left Outer

If your classic C2 Corvette's headlight doors aren't operating with the smooth, synchronized motion they were born with, the issue could be deeper than the vacuum actuator. The 1963–1967 Corvette Headlight Housing Pivot Shaft (Left Outer) plays a critical role in the rotational function and structural stability of your headlight doors—making it a must-replace component during any proper restoration.

Why This Part is Essential

Located on the left outer side of the headlight assembly, this pivot shaft anchors the housing and enables clean, balanced motion every time the headlights are activated. When worn or corroded, it can throw off the alignment, cause binding, or lead to a complete failure of the headlight mechanism.

This is a current production part cast from original GM tooling, delivering restoration-correct authenticity and function. Manufactured to factory specifications, it’s designed to match the original part in both form and fit—no guesswork, no compromises.
