Re: Headlight Loose - Screw & Nut thing replacement
...could any of the three ring attachment tabs on the bucket be damaged or elongated, possible from over tightening? With the headlight itself securely inserted in the ring the face should be flush with the front lip of the ring, obviously...
The nylon retainers should with a bit of effort, pop snugly into the back of the bucket without breaking any of the retaining tabs. As long as they are not old and brittle. With new ones it can help if they are warmed up a bit with a hair dryer or such to make them more pliable.
I have also used a small file or emery board to take off a bit of the nylon on two opposing tab sides, just enough to pop in and stay. Once the screws are properly set into the retainer there is no slop and it's tight. The long aiming screws should have a grove near the head that slips into an open slot tab. On mine someone had way over tightened the screws at some point bending the tab out of shape so the screw would pop out and cause the assembly to be very "wobbly".
