Lower headlight bolts
« 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....

Indeed I do.  ;)

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