Default 1981 Headlight bucket question

Hi everyone, This may seem like a no brainer to some, or most of you, but I can't seem to find where to hook the spring on the bucket, or the car. If anyone has a diagram showing the headlight assembly that sure would help. I may be missing a piece since these were in the trunk when I started this resto 2 years ago. I have the bucket, both adjuster screws w/ plastic nuts/mounts and the springs. Inside the nose there isx only the fiberglass inner core. Is there supposed to be some sort of metal bracket?

Thanks in advance for your help with this.

There should be a metal bucket that your headlight lamp and ring attach to. There's a hole in the bucket for the spring to hook into:

Thanks for the reply, I have the bucket, I just don't know where that spring is supposed to hook on the car. It seems to me that it would tear up the fiberglass in the nose and there should be some sort of metal to hook it into.
