jer jer jiggly headlights

[bash]

One of my headlights started jiggling a little so, stand by for another 'tight get' solution, I prised the headlight out and the link rod to the motor and then cleaned the linking piece. The 'cup' in the nylon end piece has a small gap around it so a small piece of elastic band was pushed into the gap with an electrical screwdriver. A bit of copperslip on reassembly still needed the pipe grips to push it back on and its just about perfect at NO cost. Result, no jiggling.

One for the technical article section....

I'm an elastic band fan too.

I use them on kitchen sink plug hole strainers once the rubber seals rot.

Get the lacky bands for free...the Postie drops loads around here!

Had the same issue. I cut a small (70x70mm) piece of 8mm offcut sound deadening quilt. Then made a cut from a bottom edge to the centre. The trick is in placing the offcut. Just press down the headlight by hand will reveal the adjusting rod. Position the offcut over the rod (i used a flexible clamp rod similar in appearance to a long reach magnet and very cheap on e-bay) and lower it into position with the cut on the down-side). Release the clamp. Everything should be fine. If not repeat with a second offcut.
