Have you ever seen this?
I've never seen that before.
Could not bid on it - was too expensive for me for a just "nice-to-have" item...

Load-up does not work again, so here is the link.

?? I give up.  What is it? (Was ist los?)

Installation Guide For Headlights

What is it used for?

[Cees Klumper]

As the ad says, it's "Fur das paßgenaue Einschweißen der Lampentöpfe äußerst hilfreich".

To install (weld in place) the steel headlamp buckets that sit behind your headlight assemblies. I imagine this device aligns it properly with the fenders/rest of the body. Would be a nice to have for people who do Pagoda restorations for a living I suppose.

I did see this item in the old tool cataloge I have from Mercedes-Benz I would really like to get the measurements of one and what material is used. It look like you use the four holes to screw it in place.
I did go to the e-bay page and am I correct in that  the final price was 400 euros?

Hello alltogether,

First of all, I apologize. I did not explain what this tool is good for. Yes, Cees is right, it is (was) used for the correct installation of the headlight housing.
I would guess it is made of diecast or aluminum.

No Bob, the final bid price was 115 €uros [:0](about 130 - 140 $$) but this was already - as I believed - a little to much for a just "nice to have" item. :?

Best

(OK, let's try to upload the pic of this lamp housing aligning tool again - just to save the picture for our database before it disappears from ebay ...)
