Hi guys

I’ve fitted the brackets for the spot lamps to the front - four in total. As far as I can remember they are off a sports pack mini.

I don’t have the original bolts. I’ve found bolts that fit but once secure, the actual lamps are still very loose. I know they should move stiffly but these are flopping around like a salmon. They have integrated nuts. Any ideas? Picture attached.



Thanks
Andy

Could you try packing them with a few washers to tighten them up?

If the bracket isn't clamping the light tight enough you could try using a washer to pack it out

Not 100%, but pretty sure some spot lights have a tubular spacer inside the clamp which the bolt passes through.
So you can tighten without crushing/ bending the light fitting? 
I have some lights which seemed to need excessive tightening before becoming “fixed”
