No

Only way to get a complete set of original VW adjusters for square lights is to buy the backing plates as they come with adjusters.But they will set you back £140 from classic parts either via brickwerks or Heritage

brickwerks do sell the backing plate for electrical adjusted lights but the missing adjuster needed to complete a manual set seems to be obsolete now (255-941-133)

So to recap a full set of adjusters is

Rectangle Headlight Units

2x 255-941-133 - seemingly obsolete even from classic...........though 2 available on ebay for a song Get ripped off here
2x 255-941-141C - available Here or Here
2x 191-941-297 - availablehere or here

Square main beam units

2x 255-941-133A - obsolete
4x 255-941-141B - obsolete

ONLY alternative workaround adjusters available (from a MK2 Golf) here

If the clipnuts around the round head of the adjusting screws have broken they are part number 7L0945299.....try VW

I have gone down the route of a 13mm bolt washers X3 nuts to hold the outer, its a pain to adjust but once its done its not going anywhere!

I have just bought some adjusting screws on eBay from Eurowagens (http://www.eurowagens.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) where they are advertised as suitable for "VW Golf MK1, MK2 and Transporter T25" for £5.99. Part No.: 10213983.

They are an exact match (with the exception of the screw being slotted as opposed to cross-head) for my 1990 1915cc petrol T25.

Hey guys, there seems to be allot of focus on the square main beam lens, what about the rectangular ones?

Am i right in thinking this is what we know about replacing all the head light adjusters for the square and rectangular lenses on both sides:
Part no's

4x (VW T25) 255-941-141B = 191-941-133 (mk2 Golf)
2x (Vw T25) 255-941-133A = 191-941-141 (mk2 Golf)
2x (vw T25) 255-941-133 = ???
2x (vw T25) 255-941-141c = ???
2x (vw T25) 191-941-297 = ???

Also non of the ebay or eurowagon links seem to work?
