all seams complicated to me. i repaired both left/right adjusters for pennies using m5 allen key headed bolt ground down to fit the inner ball socket, two rivnuts and a longer m5 bolt.one rivnut is used to joint the threaded ends, the other fitted into a hole drilled in the headlight casing opposite the ball adjuster. takes a bit of time but cheaper than new lights still with the bakelite fittings inside.

Fitting these will be quicker, easier and looking at the shape and size of the part I don't think too expensive either.

Ok, so I'm done (I hope), I have made 3 parts, fitted one to the broken unit I was given, I'll send one to Dave Elite for evaluation and donate the other to fix the other unit provided, which also appears to be snapped.

The part is pictured below, I am planning on putting them on eBay for £15 (+p&p) each, but if anyone from this forum wants them then how does £12 plus £2 p&p sound? I've also written a 'how to' manual, which I can email to purchasers to make fitting simpler.

If you're interested email Marribo on gad74@talktalk.net and I'll run more off next week.

Looking forward to your feedback.

If there are any other parts that are hard to find or highly over priced that I may be able to help with just let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks
Gregg

Don't worry about it ;) I'm probably half blind but is that adjuster the threaded one as I can't see the thread  :D

EDIT: ignore that I can see it now I'm looking at the pic upside down ;D ;D

I do, but I didn't have much luck putting them on this morning. If you pm me your e-mail address I'll send them to you.
