Triumph Spitfire headlamp surround?

Hi.

I have to change one of the headlamps on my 1972 Spitfire, but can't see how to remove the cowling which surrounds it.

The car has had some bodywork done before i bought it, so there is the possibility that someone put filler over a screw head or rivet.

Can anyone advise me how to do it?

Have checked rimmer brothers site..it lists the part and has a pic, but no evidence of how to remove it (it is part 911 102)

You are removing part # 911101 or 02 based on the Rimmer ref. You will need to remove three bolts to remove the headlamp surround. You will need to raise the hood to access them. One bolt is at the bottom front edge of the hood and about two inches in from the front of the surround. The other bolt is located next to the lower outside nut that holds the headlamp housing in the hood. Third bolt is on the inside the front of hood close to where the wiring harness is tucked-away.

Don't be fooled by the avatar - this was written by my hubby, a Triumph Spitfire expert!

Edited to add the third bolt

John K is good, but also add that some of the models didn't have a screw, they were just pushed on.
The screw for the chrome surround is at the very bottom of the lamp.Not uncommon for it not to be there as it rattles out.Start at the bottom if its not there? and use a flat bladed screwdriver between the trim and the headlamp bowl and it should spring off,hope this helps,
