Maybe I'm overthinking this, so forgive me if this is a stupid question...

When using the spacer, how is the projector assembly secured against the projector bowl with the tightening ring tightened?



Note, I don't have the tiny square in the projector bowl anymore, had to Dremel it away for the current projectors.

Hi Evan, see if below visual is of any help to you. The missing tiny square isn't much of an issue although it would have been nice to have. In all honesty I've never tried fitting a set without it so trial & error apply here. Mount as per visual below first and see if you can level the beam projection high enough using OEM's adjustments in both X/Y axis. If all goes well with the beam adjustments, "Lock-Tight fluid" on the thread and move on! GL

Note: Its important to not exceed 23~23.5mm for the OD on the reflector's mounting hole.

Thank you again! This clears it up. If I remember correctly, the enlarged holes for my current projectors are 20mm in diameter, so can still be enlarged to exactly 23mm.
