Mz es 150 smashed headlight issue.

[Klaudiusz2001]

Hi I'm a new poster to the forum but I have been an avid reader over the past couple of years. But as a new owner of a MZ ES 150, which I'm in the process of restoring I've come across a couple hurdles and was wandering if anyone on the forum has encountered any of these before myself and found a satisfactory solution...

So during the disassembly of the front lamp upon removal of the headlight the glass has unglued itself from the reflector and came crashing to the ground , as soon as it happened I was very annoyed with myself and the awful glue that went off over the years. But now I'm left in the situation where I need a new front headlight unit, I've looked online for a 145mm and 5.75" round headlight units but none of them have any dimensional reports available to ensure that it's going to actually fit, and finding an original uk spec (left hand dip) is proving a challenge.

So here's my request, has anyone got any experience replacing these with a new unit or maybe has an original uk spec for sale. Or alternatively knows of another bike or model that would fit the specifications below?

The critical dimensions of the unit are 145mm major diameter (at the rim) and <136mm diameter at the front of the glass so that it still fits inside the bezel.

I wonder if using a glass from an ETZ would fit? Sure you would have to peel the glass off, but maybe that would work?

Over the years older glass headlamps have these issues. I had the same with my car- the glass was only just hanging on when I realised it was a bit loose- thankfully I glued that back on, the same too with my own ES250/2 Trophy- I found the glass was rotated, and it just came out- luckily It was secure though. The headlamp units as a whole on the ES models are pretty rare.

The ETZ does not fit. It is bigger than the ES part.
