IIRC all four retaining screws are self tappers. Unfortunately the headlamp bowl is missing from the J30 SPC and although there is a drawing in the J37 it is not referenced anywhere.

The bowl itself is screwed to the body using self tapping screws. There is a rubber seal that fits in between the two.
The glass headlamp is held in a carrier by a chromed trim which again is held in place with smaller self tappers.
This unit is then held into the bowl with a spring, and two special adjusting screws that go into the threaded holes in the bowl. These are about 30mm or so long and have a groove around the head which locates into a slot on the carrier. This screw is part number 8599.
See diagram 55 in the S1 parts manual.

Hi Clive

The screws that hold the the headlight bowls on are listed at page 290 in the spares book. From recollection they are 10/32 x 3/8 slotted fillister. Shakeproof washers. Fillister headed screws are also used to attach the other lights too.

Hi
Thank you for all the feed back,I have checked page 290 on my original 3.8 parts book ,and they listed,then i checked my 1965 parts book(J.37)
In this publication they are listed on page 260 under part No Bd.27105/2.
So now all I have to do is find some.
Again many thanks for all your help.
Kind Regards
Clive

The set screw part number is UFS.310/3H in J.30. That tells you the exact specification which you can decode using this guide from our KB: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/849 ... teners.pdf

So UFS.310/3H = fine thread, set screw, round head slotted, 3/16" thread, 3/8" long
