indicator cone. It is an IVA requirement

that the edge strip covers the entire edge

of the mounting cone, including the

portion directly beneath the lens.

Remove the lens from the front indicator.

indicator seal is at the bottom, line up the

holes in the indicator base with the holes

in the indicator cone and secure using

three setscrews (fastener pack 30L002A

tighten. Replace the lens.

Tighten the two grub screws securing

each headlight bracket into the chassis.

Tighten to 7 Nm.

clamping screw located on top of the

headlight bowl and unhooking the lens

from the headlight bowl. Remove the plug

from the back of the headlight bulb and

remove the sidelight housing from the

reflector.

Remove the securing nut and lock washer

from the headlight mounting stud and

smear a thin layer of oil to the thread.

Insert the headlight harness and headlight

mounting stud through the indicator cone

and into the headlight bracket.

Refit the headlight securing nut and lock

washer and tighten until the headlight unit

cannot move freely, this will aid assembly

however these nuts will need to be

slackened off to allow the headlights to be

correctly adjusted, refer to Figure 157.

headlight shell engages with the recess in
