Anchor light

[Ezsteps]

Does anyone have a source for anchor lights that mount solid to the arch? Or a good fix for the factory one? It is always tilted to one side or the other. It must have the offset because of the open array.

On mine there is a rivet in the pole where it pushes into the mount (slide in a groove in the hole in the mount). I have the 90 degree pole too.

The rivet is aluminum and it wears away over time allowing the pole to move side to side. You may be able to drill out and replace the rivet (short rivet only) which tightens it up a lot. But be very careful. The wires are just under the rivet and you can damage the wiring doing it (I did!)

Thanks, that's exactly how mine is. I have replaced the rivet before, but it just don't last. If I can't find a good replacement I'll be replacing it again. Thanks again

There is such a thing as a stainless steel rivet. I was thinking I might use one next time. Problem is dissimilar metals with the aluminum pole so might need teffgel and grease to protect.
