followed by a normal nut
I think I've got it! So the butterfly goes on before you put the bolt in, then you cover it all with epoxy and bolt it into the car to let the epoxy dry, then take it out to fit everything?

Out of curiosity, did you need two tubes of quicksteel or did the one suffice?

Also, you mentioned the clips, did you mean the white brittle plastic ones that clips the reflector to the casing or the rusted brittle metals one that clip the headlamp glass on? (I need all of them...my glass clips are in bad shape).

In any case I will hunt on ebay.
