1977 400F2 first restore project
smoothoperator:
Kind offer Ted but the lens and reflector are a single item. Also there is damage behind the bulb and the replacement I've seen on DS has a different bulb fitting which bypasses the broken part, as far as I can tell.

Ok that probably explains the putty !

I've added 2 more images in the link previously of the headlamp rim which had one dent in it. I've managed to planish it out to a pretty good standard, well chuffed. Sorry to blow my own trumpet.

Nice bit of planishing there - my rim was far too damaged and rusted to repair - hence why I have gone for a new headlamp with different mountings courtesy of allankelly1 who I have shamelessly plagiarised from (with his help).

Waiting for a few bits before I can go much further with the headlamp and left and right handle bar switches. Meanwhile I have taken off the pilot light case cover which has 1 broken lug whilst the other 2 are just cracked. I've trawled this site and found that KENT400 has repaired one of these using mouldable plastic and 2 part epoxy. As mine is in generally good condition I'll have a look at having a go at that. Also Ted has bought one recently and been underwhelmed by the quality and I also read trigger ran out of these in 2015!
