Headlight retaining bolts

(1/2) > >>

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

hairygit:
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.

Bodd:
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 of my restoration/cafe build.

Cheers Guys, that's a rainy Bank Holiday Monday excuse for a couple of hours in the garage!
