The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Its been sometime since I needed to get some advice but have a broken headlight alingment bolt on my Sprint. Best method to get it apart and where to buy two new bolts.
please note I live in western Canada so no parts here unless same as other british cars.

Same adjusting screw is fitted to a Triumph Stag - should be some of these car / spare parts dealers over the pond.

Remove the black trim from around the headlights, then undo (not remove) three screws that hold a chrome trim around the headlight unit either rotate the trim clockwise or anti clockwise (cannot remember which way) to remove the trim - hold the headlight unit whilst removing the chrome trim. Pull the headlight unit out and disconnect the electrical terminals on the back side of the unit. The next item that you see is the headlight adjustment ring - these adjustment screws are located in this ring - two off. Undo the plastic screws until the adjustment ring is free from the headlight bowl, you will have to cut the plastic screw to get them out - the new one are a push in fit as there is a retension clip on them to hold them in position. See attached short cut.

See the adjusting screws at 1 o'clock and 7 o'clock
