hoobby Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) I have managed to either break or hopefully just pop one off the adjustment clips from the headlight (this is an exclusive so four spots) now it wobbles around do I have to remove the spot if so how ? Or is it like most cars just press it back into place?. Edited August 10, 2019 by hoobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoobby Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Now it's daylight got unit out so I could see and the clip has snapped..so a bit of improvisation and now fixed and still allows the adjuster to work good enough for the mot on Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The General Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I scrapped the original fixings and designed and 3D printed my own system in ABS. this holds the lamp unit more central so they are not resting in water when the car gets wet.

hoobby Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'll have a set if you can still make them that elastic band won't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The General Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The only problem is they use the hella lamp units with ball stud adjusters which is looks you guys dont have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I guess a clip with a ball on the otherside could be printed too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutts Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Easier to make new ones using 5mm stainless bolts. Stainless springs with stainless wingnut nuts. Take an hour or so never rust or break. The how to do is on here somewhere by kev abbott 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
