Fitting 300 Headlights on a 200

[Scotsman]

Hi all, seen a few posts about these but wonder if anyone has a template or measurements for cutting the original backplate on the 200 to mount the brackets for the 300 lights? Also how do the indicators, trim pieces & grille panel get secured?

TIA

Easiect way is to cut the headlight panels out of a scrap 300 (or buy new 8-[) and weld them ontot he boxes that are in the 200, you need to do lots of cutting anyway.

Then IIRC there is a little bracket on the outer end of the grille but you could make that.

thanks for all replies. I already have the lamps and grille etc, just wanted fitting details. I've managed to blag a look at a mates 300 and taken a template off the headlight box. Just need to make some extra holes and cut out the main opening, making it larger and to one side. I've made the bracket on the wing that mounts the trim and indicator lens from ally angle and just need to make a couple of triangular plates to hold the bottom of the grill and im done

cheers

well the jobs done, looking much better and tidier too. wasnt too difficult either. drew a template from the 300 light box and transferred to to the 200 box. enlarged the hole on the side of the box and made an oval hole to accomodate the indicator light retainer spring, the main box i just cut into with the grinder to the marked circle edge then nibbled the bits off leaving me a 180mm hole to accommodate the headlight. the hardest part was replicating the adjuster holes but i bought a 22mm bi-metal cutter and got to work. so all in around 3 hours work which also included cleaning up the rust around the bottom of the boxes too. Then the following day with me all smiling and proud, a mate said he could have given me a full 300 front end off a breaker.......sods law eh!
