I am hoping for you that the bigger nut that grips more thread will work for you. A note that the blue locking liquid is not the correct one to use, cant remember the code but i think the liquid is a green one   

I broke my Gen 1 earlier this year. I have all the electrics left to sell except the headlight.

Thanks for the info,will measure the thread all along when I'm swapping the nuts early next week.

My old girl is not as good as that I did think about a light restoration, but I use it all year, so I slapped on some haemorrhoid paint instead

Trebus, you're a gent.


Thanks for that!


Not quite the terrifying prospect I was thinking it was.


(I had found Unfazed's fix a couple of days ago but the pics weren't loading then couldn't for the life of me bring it back up...)


There's a Polish mechanic across from the job who I think would be up to this.


Nut arrives in Danfay tomorrow (probably still Tuesday/Wednesday before it lands with me) so if the thread is fucked altogether there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel!
