Purchased a 7" lamp mounting set [usually for Mini, MGB et., which needed to be modified for the Samurai.
Cut the shell with a Dremel as near to the support ring as I could and then ground the edge down till almost flat.

Decided to replace the washer pump as it's replacement had arrived.
What a nightmare getting the old one out. Much swearing and cursing but eventually it was out.
New one was fiddly to get in but , in the end we got there!!
