where to find headlamp cover retaining bolts?

[v8monster]

I'm currently in the process of replacing the headlamp reflectors on my chim and found that the bolts that hold the headlamp surround/cover are a bit too rusty for my liking. Does anyone know where I can get some fresh ones? I couldn't find any on clevortrevor.

Also, what's the best way of aligning the lens and reflector? How do you know you've got it right other than when it fails an MOT!??

thanks

As for alignement just guess it then have them done at a MOT station.
As for the bolts ask a TVR bodyshop.

If you have a vertical surface (wall, garage door, etc.) to park the car in front of while you do the job, you can mark said surface before changing the reflector. Roughly speaking, the lamp will produce a \__ type pattern. Mark it with chalk or a pencil and align the new reflector against the old shape.
