[Bmcu] Headlight adjusters

[Duff Lawson]

It would be logical (if you can stretch your imagination enough to call anything about British engineering logical), that Lotus would use the same Lucas parts as all the other British manufacturers did.  In which case, take a look at eBay item # 151235376373, Lucas Headlamp Adjuster Kit BMH7058.  As used on classic Mini, and most MG's, Triumphs and everything else of the same period.  When you've got a cheap plastic part that is guaranteed to break, why not use it on as many vehicles as possible?
Hope this helps.  Duff

Lee,
Do the nuts need to be plastic? If not then that would open up your options. Otherwise perhaps somewhere like fastenal might be of help. They certainly would have a larger selection than Lowes etc.

Lee, 



I don't know what shape you need but maybe you could just cut a piece of scrap nylon and tap it for the thread?

In my continued quest for get my Lotus ready for spring travel, I'm 
currently redoing the headlight buckets. There are two adjusters in each 
bucket. On one of mine, both of the nylon (or plastic?) nuts that fit 
into the headlight bucket are broken. Does anyone know if these are 
available? I've checked the local parts stores and the ones that they 
have are WAY too big. All I really need is the nylon part, I still have 
both of the screws.

So, any suggestions?
