I thought this was going to be a photo of a road kill deer stuck in the front grill. This is much better

My mother's maiden name was MacRae and some how related to Jock who rebuilt the castle.

A whole bunch of them immigrated to Australia, I have some clan tartan in a box somewhere.

Also, as per this thread, the standard wheel nuts are conical, not tapered. Be sure to use the correct nuts for whatever your wheel builder is making.

A 'standard' M14 pitch is M14 x 2, a fine thread is M14 x 1.5.

So I had another go at it, trying to find some spade terminals. Pulled the light housing apart with a screw driver, to get the rubber seals out.

Thanks Albert.

Will have another look.

In my defense all my work is done at night outside my house with a LED work lamp.

Hard to see from your pics but I think the indents you mention are recesses for the studs that hold the gasket in place.

I downloaded a catalogue from a tractor parts supply shop called Sparex and they had one listed.
