Need headlamp spring help - pics to see
Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2014 8:28 am
Can someone remind me how to reattach the two little springs that hold the headlamp in the shell? After 40 years, I have lost the image of how they fit. My best guess is that they are somehow sprung tightly into the two pairs of little notches on the edge of the middle of the three headlamp retaining rings, to allow for "easy" replacement of the headlamp, which in this case is not a halogen but a regular sealed beam unit. The parts manuals' picture of this area is profoundly unhelpful, in terms of showing these springs' locations any more than their general vicinity. Also, the Haynes manual has no pics to show this piece when replacing the lamp.
I have included a link to three pics showing the springs, with what I think might be the right location; if so, do I just force the springs into the notches, or am I incorrect?

I'd really appreciate any help on this.
Thanks in advance.
