electrics, light rim earth

Indian GP rebuild nearing the end !. Two questions gents; I have a light lens that seems slightly too small for the chrome rim, it has 'brytax' stamped on it. Is it too small because it's for an italian headset? And I have wired the machine using a MB simplified loom and I can't workout how the headlamp bulb is earthed, is it linked somehow to the light rim?

2nd question Headlight bulbs are usually earthed from the adjuster screw at the bottom of the rim to the headlight block , i always put a seperate earth on direct from the block to the headset bottom .

Cheers Toddy, looked again this morning, the main bulb earths thru the tab that touches the side of the bulb then joins a terminal that could be earthed with a ring terminal to the throttle stirrup. And the rim does fit the light, its indian and obviously I had to bend the rim to make it fit, der! I was tired :|
