Abstract
A mounting arrangement for an accessory headlamp which allows the azimuthal direction of the headlamp beam to be adjusted and locked independently of the inclination of the beam. The mounting comprises a mounting bolt having larger and smaller diameter threaded portions separated by a shoulder. The smaller diameter portion passes through a mounting hole in the vehicle body and is secured by a nut, with the shoulder in contact with the body surface. The larger diameter portion receives a nut forming part of a clamping mechanism for the headlamp, which is pivoted to the top of the mounting bolt but can be locked by the clamping mechanism. In a modification, the larger diameter nut is replaced by a cam mechanism.
