Pivot to Perfection: 1963–1967 Corvette C2 Headlight Housing Pivot Shaft – Right Outer
If your C2 Corvette’s headlight doors are hesitating, misaligning, or refusing to operate smoothly, the issue might lie in one of the most critical components of the headlight system: the pivot shaft. The 1963–1967 Corvette Headlight Housing Pivot Shaft (Right Outer) is the backbone of your headlight door’s rotational function—providing strength, stability, and precise movement that ensures your Corvette looks and operates exactly as it should.
Why This Part is Essential
This right outer pivot shaft anchors the outer end of the headlight housing and enables the smooth swing of the door when activated. Without it—or with one that’s rusted or worn—your headlight doors may not align properly or may bind during operation. It’s a part that’s easy to overlook, but essential for performance, safety, and authenticity.
This is a current production part cast from original GM tooling, ensuring restoration-correct quality and dependability. Manufactured to original factory specifications, it delivers a seamless fit and authentic appearance right out of the box.
