Lucas DU142F headlight - same old problem 'the securing screw and bits' etc

Hi

Can anyone suggest where I might be able to obtain the securing screw and assembly which secures the headlight bowl to the rim at the bottom. I know this is a Forum regular and last year there was a long thread on this, but now (thanks to Netley)I am the proud owner of these items I would like to be able to put them together!

Any thoughts gratefully received.

Here you are Chris. The black bit sits through the slot in the shell and rocks like a hinge (from memory there is a spring wire clip inside the shell to keep it in place). The chrome bit fits in a slot in the rim and held in place with a rivet.

I've struggled in the past, getting the standard length knurled screw to reach and had a couple made a bit longer. Ron
