Headlight bracket screws lost ( Lifan LF200GY-5)

layneroxxx · 07-12-2008, 09:27 PM

These screws just go into plastic and they rattled out. Anybody have this problem or have any suggestions on how to solve problem? I had just tightened one of them when I found the other was lost (temporarily replaced with slightly larger screw - barely screwed in) and now I lost both on the very next trip.

I wonder how I can permanently fix this? Pics:

Thanks in advance.

It might be all stripped.I think those screws should be fairly long and 3 or 4mm in diameter.not too sure.I would put a zip tie on each screw cavity and then zip tie another couplt to those from the screw holes in the headlight.kinda messy and unstable put might hold it together for awhile.sorry I cant help any better!

I used some epoxy and some new screws. They haven't came loose yet
