First stage, located outer ring positions for beam adjustment screws. 12mm diameter holes required. There are in addition 4 No fixing points.
After much measurement, remeasure, relocation drilled holes in stages, 3, 5, 8, 10mm and finished off with a file.

A number of small jobs are ongoing. Mainly trying to resolve the wiring upgrades.
Am converting indicators to LEDS and upgrading headlights with relays.

Bits of work been done. Nothing major mainly electrics.
Found windscreen washer had 2 pumps. Seems original was not replaced but inline pump put in. Outlet to that has snapped off and so I am sorting out replacement system.
