I need the adjuster clip/bracket that attaches to the bottom of the headset and headlight. Anyone know where I can find one (or even what it's called)?

Does the Rally use that part? I think the Rally headsets have a threaded hole at the bottom centre, similar to the 2 x side fixing screws on the sides.
The headlight is adjusted by using a slot in the large chrome rim.

Perhaps one of the dumbest parts ever made for Vespa. Not reproduced, rare as hens teeth, and extremely hard to find. I spent a fair amount on one about 5 years ago at Scooter West; I think their last one. I will see if I can find a photo of it installed.

I bet you're referring to a euro headset. Wish I had one! Hell, if I'm wishing why not wish for a whole euro spec Rally?

Thx man. Even a pic would be helpful, reference point for coming up with some bodgetastic solution.

Had entertained the notion of trying exactly that.

They combined the two worst headlight mounting designs ever to make a mutant super-bad design.

It's impressive in its own way. Also proof that letting the engineers drink at lunch is a terrible idea.

True story:
Five or so years ago outside of Madrid having lunch, there were four guys at a table with two bottles of wine. When they got up to leave I read the back of their vests.
Elevator contractors

Two bikes here without that clip.
I prefer them without it.
Aren't the three and nine o'clock thingys enough tension for you guys?
Easier to install/remove/adjust.

Yep yep.
I always *intend* to add the clip especially after hunting one down last year. But it is sooooo far down the list of things to do. Scoot doesn't miss it at all.

I hate that thing.

I did buy a spare a year or so ago. If you can't find one online hit me up.
