Dave Elite BANNED Offline Posts: 706 Ellesmere Port Gender: Drives: 3.0 elite and Rides: ZX7R Kawasaki	Aluminium headlight adjusters 25. Feb 2010 at 16:45 I've found someone who can make aluminium headlight adjusters. He makes them for BMW's and thinks he could make them for the Omega as well. Just thought I'd ask to see if there is any interest in this? Thanks Dave

Right so there is some interest. I need to find a member who lives near or is willing to travell to Southampton. Southampton is where this feller lives. He needs someone to take a headlight to him and leave it with him so he can take the measurments and check it all works, then he can re-produce the adjuster over and over. I have said if I can't find anyone near him, then I will post a headlight to him.

Live in Bournemouth, not a stones throw away from s'o'ton, but don't have a spare headlamp to donate, otherwise I'd offer. Sad

Feb 2010 at 23:11 I have a rebuilt adjuster in the garage, held together with araldite. it will certaily give the size and dimensions required and far cheaper than posting a complete headlight unit. Mark_DTM was also onto a similar thing, might be worth contacting him directly to see the state of play....

I've contacted Mark twice, he has opened the pm's I've sent and not replied to either of them. so I went looking for someone else and found someone who will do it. He has told me that he needs to have the headlight to see if it all works properly.

If the person has what he needs to duplicate - the reconstructed adjuster - then why send a whole headlight unit? If the adjuster can be remanufactured, why reinvent what its used for? Sorry, do not follow the logic..... Undecided
