Headlight spacer
Posted: Wed Sep 14, 2022 3:12 pm
The special 67817-52 nut-bolts holding my headlight on broke some time ago. The broken bolts and spacers were lost on the gravel road on which I was riding.
I found a pair of NOS nut-bolts, but not the spacers. Can anyone tell me what the length of the 67821-52 spacers is?
I found some appropriate hardware store spacers. They are .620 wide and 1" long. I cut them down to .400 long, but I'm thinking that is too long, and I'd like to get more bolt into the threads on the lower triple-tree. Also, they seem to push the front fork panel out too much. Maybe .300? .250?
Before I spend more time trial-and-erroring (I'm good at the error part), can anyone measure the ones on their bike?
Also, I'd like to confirm that the correct order of assembly is: triple-tree, terminal plate ears, spacer, headlight mount, 7127 (5/16 x 9/32 internal tooth shakeproof) lock washer, nut-bolt, fork panel, 2631 8-32 x 5/16 round head screw. The illustration appears to show lockwashers on the 2631s. Yes/no?
Thanks for illuminating me!
