I commenced my 420S build in January and, amazingly for someone with no previous automotive or engineering experience, I’ve made it through the first month without seeking help here😂 However, I have a bit of an issue with one of my LED stainless headlamps. I removed the two retaining screws on each lamp but, having done so, one of the bowls was more difficult to separate than the other. As I was successful after a bit of wiggling, I thought nothing more of it and proceeded with wiring in the indicator, applying heat shrink and threading through the indicator pod and mounting arm. I can't however get the two parts of the bowl to re-engage fully (photo 1) On examination of the chrome rim of the lens there are flattened areas adjacent to the screw holes and the inner part of the rim here is lifted upwards and inwards (photo 2). Can anyone think of a way to remedy this without damaging the chrome or is my best bet to disassemble the headlight wiring and return it to Caterham for repair/replacement? (I have asked the same question of Lee at Caterham but thought I’d try here while I wait for a response).
Cheers, Craig.
