Hopefully this will help somebody.
The holders for the headlight beam adjustment screws can become brittle with age, break, and fall out. I've experimented with different DIY solutions to the problem. The best one is to spot weld a 10-28 nut to the small retainer attached to the headlight body assembly. The retainer is roughly 2" x 1" with a square hole in the center.
To access the retainer remove the headlight body assembly from the fender with a 1/2" socket: there are two bolts near the top front and one inside the fender above the front turn signal (somewhat difficult to get to). Then remove the two retainer screws. Spot weld the 10-28 nut to the retainer. Reinstall the retainer. Reinstall the body assembly.
Cheers,
