I know what you're saying, I was wondering about this. The hole is at the most 6cm in diam and there is no way a hand can go through let alone get anywhere near the motor knob thing - I've just checked. The hole on the 350 was much bigger. Is it going to be a cutting job

It's not had a new front end has it Dicky? Maybe the bodyshop didn't think about the orifice...

My 350 only had the hole on one side. No signs that the front had been repaired. I used a tank cutter and put my own in.

Hi,

I did that last week, adjusting the headlamps for my SEAC. There is a hole in the front wheelcover,but to small to reach the motor with your fingers.
The solution is to look through the sitevents to see what the position is of the knob. You drill a hole (6mm)in the inner wheel area with the right angle and distance to the knob. The knob is fixed with a screw !! So, with a normal (long) screwdriver through the 6mm hole you can simpel adjust the headlamp.

Well what dya know! Found it!
What a stupid place to put a hole I was expecting it to be directly under the motor can barely manage to get 3 fingers in (oo ur missus)let alone turn it.
Cheers all.
