Steve, and Tigers,
I., too, lost a headlight lidded Mk I frame. It came off at speed on
the freeway. I was trying to pull over to reclaim it, when my dear one
restrained me. Yes, I wasn't thinking.
I did replace both of them with the Mk IA style with the fixing screw
lids. The Mk I "snap-ons" were not secure (proven) and I have never had
any issue with them.
Suggest you replace the factory rejected design (and it cost them more)
with the later ones.
Steve
