To cut straight to the chase and spare myself further humiliation, I need the small spring clip thingy that keeps a 900 headlight bulb in place. Haven't looked anywhere else yet but thought someone might a) have one spare on a spare light assembly or b) know where else I would find one.
Any help appreciated and beer /cake tokens waiting.

Right thanks cliff, they are h7 but they're nothing like that shape. (Nor is mine now):-(.

Yeah thanks Wayne, they're the same as Dablik's suggestion and not a bit like the TDM ones. I'd post a pic but am too embarrassed with how it looks now!! Thanks anyway fella.

Just wasn't holding the h7 bulb tight enough, so tweeked it a bit, then a bit more and before I knew it it was unrecognisable. Lost patience,burst into tears, spat dummy out, removed half the fairing and dash...the rest is history..

Thanks Steve. Hoping to get to Hellfrauds this afternoon so I can see theirs "in the flesh". Then it's order everything else out there and find best fit. Some in the pics look like they may do the job. Cheers.

Pete

 

there was a guy called Luke who took up v8guy's kind offer of the free headlight,

 

might be worth dropping him a PM to see if he has a spare from his old one,

 

or contact see if v8guy still has it?

Just a suggestion: have a look at a car junkyard. There must be a lot of headlights with corresponding clips.

They probably won't even charge you for such a clip :)

Thank you gentlemen for your suggestions and support, but I'm now sorted. Brain fart after all. Fitting the h7 bulb without the little black adapter fitted to the bulb will only result in tears and humiliation. I thank you.
