Just got my TR3 back from paint last week and have begun trying to =
remember where everything goes...Making pretty good progress, but have a =
few questions...

I have the original 2 adjuster buckets on my headlights but bought new =
inner retainers and the outer retainers as well as new rims, I'm using =
the PL700s also. When I snap the trim ring in place the top and sides =
fit nice, however there's maybe a 1/2" - 3/4" gap at the bottom, any =
ideas for a flush fit?

Also I purchased a repro control head from TRF and its for a =
non-adjustable wheel/column, I have a split column. When I got the car =
back the key (slot) in the stator that lines up with the control head is =
at about 11:00 and not straight up, so when I snug it down, the "off" =
blinker position is now at 11:00.=20

The other problem, and this may be a bad part, is that there is probably =
a 3/8" gap between the wheel and the control head that looks real bad, =
the plate on the control head is resting against the 3 stops on the =
wheel as its supposed and the set screws secure it fine...is that =
typical of these after markets?

Thanks=20
