Headlight Adjusters
« on: 01 May 2020, 11:12:58 »

Having just had the panic of having to find a new headlight, could someone point me to where I could get one of the metal headlight adjusters so I can sort them if/when one breaks?

Thanks

Resin type I have bought in the past are poorly fabricated and require all edges smoothing or even trimming to make fit.The ball end is also not too well secured and have had one pull out when the headlight has been fully assembled and adjustments started.

Last resort only if you cannot find a set of the aluminium type which are excellent and will cure the problems .

I've had no luck with the resin ones and as the aluminium ones are no longer available i've started to use these ones:-

The plastic adjusters get brittle and crack...even a new light isnt new as its probable been sat on a parts dept shelf for years.All Depo lights have a really cheap adjuster which will break the first time you attempt to adjust them or have broken in transit to you.

If you can get a set of aluminium adjusters thats really the only way forward
