Has anyone managed to get a headlight to this fella? I can send one to him a good headlight if not

Dont think so loones, i'll pm you the details but i think a busted one is prefered...?

I can send both but wont a good one be the one he needs to copy?

I can drop the broken one round but it won't be until next week. Could just take it to the post office I suppose. :-/

I have got a pair of headlights as far as Kevin Wood, I think 1 has broken adjuster, other one is OK (I believe).  Just need to get them that last little bit, but sounds like speed is that important currently

[Kevin Wood]

I could probably take them over Sunday evening if that's any use?

I'll have a set too   (as long as the price is not extortionate )

Hi Kevin dropped the lights off to me on Sunday, I am just waiting for Gregg to get back from New Zealand and we can start designing a ali replacement. We will fix the lights that are broken and create a how to do sheet to fix them. I will then give Kevin a shout and send them over to him when they are really approx mid April.

thanks
Hayden

Looking forward to seeing the finished result

[Kevin Wood]

Was good to meet you on Sunday, Hayden.

I'm trying to think of all the other things you could machine. Don't fancy making a nice lightweight ali 3.2 V6 block, I suppose?

Kevin

[marribo]

Way too big for our machine LOL

Hi there, I have disassembled the headlight with the broken adjuster and I don't currently see any issues with making the part in aluminium. Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing is the part you need making just the longer of the 2 adjusters, the one furthest from the indicator? On the unit I have this part is made from black PBT, part number 147 756? Is this the only component liable to break? The outer adjuster and the 'sockets' that the ball on the end of the adjuster locates are made of POM (Delrin) and as a result I assume are much less likely to snap, is this the case?

I'll program all 3 parts, both adjusters and the sockets, but making the sockets I can see as a bit of a challenge at present. But judging by the unit I have only the black, inner component is needed?

I am expecting to be able to get the inner component made next week so we should be able to get the fixed unit back to its owner (sorry, I a bit confused as to who that was, but I'll let Marribo sort that!).

in my experience the outer socket(white plastic with teeth on the inner edge) looses its teath meaning adjustment means a two handed affair, one hand to turn the allen key, the other hand down the back of the light to help turn the white plastic bit simultaniously.

But see what others say.

Only when some numpty mechanic has been at them with a cordless drill and wound the adjsuter to the end of its travel.......as happened on my MOT last year Grrr...

In answer to the questions above....it is indeed the longer of the 2 adjusters that breaks.
