A nice simple one (I hope)
How are the headlight bowls supposed to be secured to the car?
Thanks.

Martin,
you can use self tapping screws or even rivets,if you are not planning on removing them that often.

Ok, thanks Dave.
ETA. Do you know what size the screws should be?

Whatever screw binds makes sense, also use stainless

Thanks for the help. Bowls now on.
Next question.
Are the indicators held on with spire nuts?
If so, any idea of size?
Thanks.

On the back of the overwhelming response to my question I have made the assumption that they are and had a stab at the sizes.
They are now ordered.

Martin,
the front indicator sidelight units are held to the body by the same screws that retain the lens to the chrome body,those are the screw sizes to match some spire nuts to.

Thanks for the reply David.
The screws for them are a bit of a mixed bag so I wasn't sure what was the correct size. Now sort hopefully.

Thought I'd just update this.
It turns out that finding stainless steel slotted self tapping screws is pretty hard.
In the end I found these...
Arrived quickly and fit beautifully.
I got the spire nuts off of evilbay. Sizes 6 and 8.
In other news, has anyone got a loom clip that fits to the inner wing they don't need?
Like this...
If you have, please e-mail or pm me and we'll talk turkey.
Thanks.
