Hi there,
Anyone tell me which hole on the headlight assembly the vacuum pod spring bolts in. ie the one at the top near the micro switch or the lower one. If the lower one there seems to be a lot of pressure on the spring to overcome with a vacuum. Is this right

thanks in advanve

Mark,
Just had a look at my Sprint and the spring/vac rod are in the 2nd hole (lower) i.e. the one further AWAY from the micro switch. Headlights pods work fine.

Mark - I just got a new spring for the headlights and it's so much stronger than my old one that I put it in the second(lower) hole. I had the old one in the upper hole and it still didn't lift the pods properly

Thanks Everyone!
I am just about to start putting in the pods on my restoration project elan s4. The time couldn't have been better. The project has taken longer than my memory.
