Does anyone have the pivot ball socket part that goes on the end of the headlight cable? Mine popped off the ball stud at Springfield and the socket end piece was gone by the time i arrived home. OGTS has been out for months and they do not have an ETA on restock. If you have the special clip as well that would be awesome.

Those things are basically called "ball and socket" linkage. I looked on Ebay under that search and mostly there's the smaller carb linkage stuff. So, I went to Grainger and it was difficult to find an actual section for them, but a few choices came up. The headlight cable ones are a bit bigger than carb or GT gas pedal linkage......I think. Here is one that I found. You would have to measure and verify the size you need. Maybe Gil could tell you what size you need to look for.:

FYI: you can use a safety pin or a paperclip as a temporary replacement for the clip. But, they rust, so some sort of stainless steel pin or piece of wire could be used as a slightly longer lasting quick substitute.
As said, Opelmeister or someone with lots of junk GT's, like Harold Collins, might have the parts you need. Maybe even Keith Lundholm.
