400ex light assembly

[hardtime]

I headlight assembly has seen better days. The assembly wont tighten due to broken bolt holes and was wondering whats the best remedy. New one? Can I get just that part? Where's the cheapest? etc. You get the picture...

Any help is greatly appreciated!

sounds sweet, is the plastic like the 250R plastic? i dont know if youve seen that plastic, but does it have like two holes in the front, down by the very front of the nose of the plastic?

The bolts in my lights stripped out too and i can't keep them tight, so i ordered a Quad Tech carbon fiber hood to replace my lights. And if something happens to that, i'm gonna buy full bore too. It looks really really really really really really really really really nice!

1.get some DEVCON plastic welder at K-mart and 2 small thin nuts with short bolts or fine thread screws to match.2.clean all of the surfaces that the welder will be applied to with some rubbing alcohol or the product that is used to prep PVC pipe before it is jointed(highly recommended).3.set the nuts in the housing where the broken ones were and apply the DEVCON without getting any on the threads.put more on than needed to be sure it will hold.it is not runny so you can try putting the bolts in but if you get any on the threads you will have to keep turning them until the welder sets(10 minutes).4. get a razor blade or a dremel to get rid of the excess but not too much.5. leave it cure overnight in a warm dry place,then you are done.i have very little on mine and it is still holding after a year and few months.the DEVCON plastic welder is amazingly strong,much stronger than the plastic the housing is made out of.

leo,this is a common problem.could you possibly move this to the "best of forum"?

i used expoxy for plastics - Follow crday98 post and that should fix your problem.
