I wouldn’t trust the clip on version over 100 mph- don’t ask…

All - FYI

I did not know there were two types of clips to hold on the headlight eye brow - a screw on clip and a clip on version.  Rick at SS sells the screw on version EL52D and Moss Motors sells the clip on version which works just fine 560-325 on the MK1A clip on version.  Rick at SS does not sell the clip on version

Original                                                SS part EL52D screw on                                            Moss Clip on 560-325 - the black 'curved' piece is what breaks.

I wonder why the original 56 year old clip broke?

Hello all!

Pulled up at a buddies garage and while we talking, I noticed the passenger side headlight ring in the wrong position.  It was ready to fall off.  So I removed it and the clip was broken and just fell out.  Dodged a bullet that this did not happen while driving.

Rick no longer carries the clip anymore and it is replaced with a screw on clip, screws not included.

Has anyone installed these on their cars and has done a write up procedure, Rick has not.  I understand from Rick you drill out the 2 rivets, take out the old bracket and install the new clip with 2 # screws, Phillips head but not ask the length so I bought 4- #6 phillips 1/2".

I really do not want to start drilling on the rivets till I really know the proper procedure.  My Tiger was accepted in the Sandhills Motoring Festival concourse event in Pinehurst on May 29th so need to tackle this now in addition to much detailing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What happened to all of the Sunbeam parts that Victoria British had when they were bought by Moss?

Have Fun,
