Head lamp rim fastners on -54 18

Post by Dallis54 »

Hi all, very good forum this. I couldnt find any part list or cross sections of lamp items... Please help if poss. My rim was just press fit onto the lamp housing/unit. There´s a hole in the rim possible to use a screw (1/4"?) and at meating position in housing theres a rectangular slot. See pict.
Feels that something is missing.. Or the press fit is enough (maybe, have only drove a cpl of km).. Intend to make a square nut from a 6 mm plate which can be squeezed in under the small bracket front of the square slot. Any comment or advise pleas ?
All the best / Anders D
