NealandPam Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Can anyone advise how to fix the headlamp bucket & gasket to the car frame? There are 3 M5 size holes on the frame but these are unable to accept the SPIRE nuts illustrated in the Rimmer Bros spares catalogue. Looking on youtube I noticed a guy fitting new headlights to a red TR4 & it looks like he used some sort of snap fastener into the M5 receiver hole?

RogerH Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi, I would not think they are M5. Have a look here at the Moss diagram https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/triumph/tr5-6/exterior/lighting/headlamps-driving-lamps-tr5-6.html Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colin3511 Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 They are pop riveted on with large diameter rivets. Colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Yes. Blind rivets. Don't remember the size, but bigger than 1/8, I think. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
