[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 8981, member: 109"] [b]I think the issue is the "split" rim and then the clasp[/b] Hi John, I have a bunch of "W" clips fitted, I think the issue is though that the clasp does not any longer hold the rim closed in diameter and so as it is free to expand/contract it is losing contact with the glass in that plane as oppose to fore and aft which is controlled by the "W" clips. Hope I'm explaining that well enough, if I had a clasp with the trim section on it, and that trim section had the two protruding tabs or feet as this one I have looks like it did have originally, then this would sit into the two slots in the rim and hold it tight shut closed in diameter, clamped around the lamp unit. Then the "W" clips could do their job in holding the kamp unit in place from moving fore and aft. I guess what I am seeking to do is see if anyone can help me identify the rim and clasp that I have fitted and then locate a spare clasp or rim and clasp as oppose to having to replace the whole lot for miller reproductions.
