Head light securing bolts

If you have ever removed your headlights on a S2 Exige & other models
The nuts rust & when you try to remove them they just unscrew from the plastic light cover :frowning: leaving it in the clam & you have to drill them out or put it back together & leave the problem until next time

These bolts are not available from Lotus & i could not leave it so i made some new ones from HE30 aircraft grade alloy & alloy nuts.So that should cure the rust problem & with anti rattle washers & some cooper slip all should be good now


The above pictures shows how the nut come apart from the unit & below the new parts



Very good, top job.

Thank you

Oh, no! Not another technically skilled craftsman, putting me and a few others less gifted to shame :blush:

Are you sure? I think they are listed as part number 16 on the headlight section in the parts books
£1.72 each

I tried everywhere to get them & all said that the M10 o/d & M5 internal threaded part was part of the head light unit ???
