Title: Lower headlight bolts
Post by: GastronomicKleptomaniac on 19 January 2022, 21:02:29
The bolts that hold the bottom of the headlights... standard size - ie can I grab a pair from the local fittings place?

Failing that  anyone got a pair to post ASAP? Not for me... I have slightly bigger things to think about....

8mm hex head, with a integrated washer and a 20mm coarse self tapping thread iirc.

That's a BIG thread just to hold a headlight :o


Did you mean 20mm long?

Indeed I do.  ;)

A 20mm diameter bolt with an 8mm head would be somewhat unusual  ::)

Yeah, just to make sure you round it off when you come to undo it. ;D
