One of mine broke and I needed to find a replacement quickly.  I manufactured
one by removing the plastic clip from the van.  I cut off the broken part
leaving only the barrel into which the adjusting screw fits. I slid that part
into a one inch length of 5/16" fuel line hose.  I slid this hose into the
hole in the headlight bracket.  I put a washer on the front and back sides
and secured the whole thing with hose clamps on the front and back sides.
This was intended to be a temporary replacement until I could get the
replacement part but it has worked so well I decided to leave it in place.
