Question about the Mounting hardware for 26-27 headlights
I am working on light mounts for my 26 speedster. I don’t have the mounting hardware. The critical part as I understand it is a washer with a convex top that matches the concave shape on the lamp itself. Can anyone post a picture of the washer, tell me how big around it is, and tell me the diameter of the bolt that goes through it?

Is it the same washer as the one on the muffler?

The T-6509X headlamp bracket conical washer should fit the radius of the T-6517X '26-'27 headlamp tie rod and bracket.
Here are the mounting pieces.
The conical washer goes under the bracket to allow the swivel action. Don’t heavily paint as the lamp needs ground thru the bracket to the fender and then to the frame.
