Hi, this is probably a daft question. I've just got round to removing my tax disk holder which was held on via the side reflector/ headlight bolt. When trying to screw the bolt back in, it just pushes straight into the headlight shell. Is it possible that I might have disturbed a retaining nut in the shell?
Thanks

Yes. quite likely, you'll need to remove the bulb/reflectot assy from the shell to locate the nut, it's often got some geen wires attached to it for the earthing points. Hold it in place while you replace the bolt, refit the bulb/reflector assy. job done:-D

Your too fast Julie, just looked up the info and you were there.

The nut is on a plate that slides into a slot on the inside of the headlamp shell, maybe it's been pushed out of the slot, you can see what I mean about 3/4 of the way down this page (http://www.skylinesoftware.co.uk/400four9.html) of my restoration/cafe build.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Yes Greg, if there is quick, girlie way of doing something on these bikes, I have found it through trial and error and the benefit of having small hands

If you put some glue behind those nuts they won't fall off next time.
