　ここで、メーター６０、ヘッドライトブラケット３０，３０及びヘッドライト２６の組み付け手順の一例を説明する。
　図６を参照し、まず、ヘッドライトブラケット３０，３０とメーターベース６１とが、締結具８５，８５によって締結される。また、メーターベース６１は、固定具８２（図１１）によっても左側のヘッドライトブラケット３０に締結される。
　次に、メーター６０がメーターベース６１に上方から取り付けられる。ここでは、メーター６０は、係合片８０及び固定具８１，８１（図１１）によってメーターベース６１に固定される。 Here, an example of an assembly procedure of the meter 60, the headlight brackets 30 and 30, and the headlight 26 will be described.
With reference to FIG. 6, first, the headlight brackets 30, 30 and the meter base 61 are fastened by fasteners 85, 85. Further, the meter base 61 is fastened to the left headlight bracket 30 also by a fixture 82 (FIG. 11).
Next, the meter 60 is attached to the meter base 61 from above. Here, the meter 60 is fixed to the meter base 61 by the engagement piece 80 and the fixtures 81 and 81 (FIG. 11).
　続いて、図３を参照し、ヘッドライトブラケット３０，３０が、複数のブラケット固定ボルト４９によって車体側ステー３１に固定される。
　その後、ヘッドライト２６が、左右連結部材３３の下側ヘッドライト支持部３３ａ及びヘッドライト固定具２６ｄ，２６ｄを介して、車体側ステー３１及びヘッドライトブラケット３０，３０に固定される。 Subsequently, referring to FIG. 3, the headlight brackets 30, 30 are fixed to the vehicle body side stay 31 by a plurality of bracket fixing bolts 49.
Thereafter, the headlight 26 is fixed to the vehicle body stay 31 and the headlight brackets 30 and 30 via the lower headlight support 33a and the headlight fixtures 26d and 26d of the left and right connecting members 33.
　本実施の形態では、メーター６０は、メーターベース６１に連結される締結具８５，８５及び固定具８２を介して、ヘッドライトブラケット３０，３０のみに直接的に固定されている。このため、メーター６０を固定する部材の部品点数を削減できる。また、メーター６０がトップブリッジ１８に締結されないため、トップブリッジ１８の周辺部のメンテナンス等の際にトップブリッジ１８の着脱が容易である。
　また、メーターベース６１が、ステー連結部７９に下方から締結される固定具８２によってヘッドライトブラケット３０に固定されるため、車幅方向に延びる締結具８５，８５を中心とするメーターベース６１の回転を防止でき、メーター６０を強固に固定できる。 In the present embodiment, the meter 60 is directly fixed only to the headlight brackets 30, 30 via fasteners 85, 85 and a fixture 82 connected to the meter base 61. For this reason, the number of parts of the member for fixing the meter 60 can be reduced. Further, since the meter 60 is not fastened to the top bridge 18, the top bridge 18 can be easily attached and detached during maintenance of the periphery of the top bridge 18.
In addition, since the meter base 61 is fixed to the headlight bracket 30 by a fixture 82 fastened to the stay connecting portion 79 from below, the meter base 61 rotates around the fasteners 85 and 85 extending in the vehicle width direction. The meter 60 can be firmly fixed.
　さらに、メーターベース６１を固定する締結具８５，８５及びヘッドライト固定具２６ｄ，２６ｄのヘッドライトブラケット３０，３０に対する挿入方向は、車幅方向外側から内側に向かう方向であり、これら挿入方向は同一である。このため、締結具８５，８５及びヘッドライト固定具２６ｄ，２６ｄの組み付け作業が容易であり、作業性が良い。また、車両の組立時だけでなく、メーター６０及びヘッドライト２６等のメンテナンスの際においても、上記挿入方向が同一であるため、締結具８５，８５及びヘッドライト固定具２６ｄ，２６ｄの着脱が容易であり、作業性が良い。
　また、左右のヘッドライトブラケット３０，３０の間には、ヘッドライト２６及びメーターベース６１が狭持されるため、ヘッドライトブラケット３０，３０の強度及び剛性を、ヘッドライト２６及びメーターベース６１を強度部材として増加させることができる。このため、ヘッドライト２６及びメーターベース６１を強固に支持できる。 Furthermore, the insertion direction of the fasteners 85 and 85 for fixing the meter base 61 and the headlight fixtures 26d and 26d with respect to the headlight brackets 30 and 30 is the direction from the outside to the inside in the vehicle width direction, and these insertion directions are the same. It is. For this reason, the assembly work of the fasteners 85 and 85 and the headlight fixtures 26d and 26d is easy, and the workability is good. Further, since the insertion direction is the same not only when the vehicle is assembled but also when the meter 60 and the headlight 26 are maintained, the fasteners 85 and 85 and the headlight fixtures 26d and 26d can be easily attached and detached. And workability is good.
In addition, since the headlight 26 and the meter base 61 are sandwiched between the left and right headlight brackets 30 and 30, the strength and rigidity of the headlight brackets 30 and 30 are increased, and the strength of the headlight 26 and the meter base 61 is increased. It can be increased as a member. For this reason, the headlight 26 and the meter base 61 can be supported firmly.
　また、図３に示すように、車両前方からの正面視では、ヘッドライトブラケット３０，３０のメーター支持部４２，４２は、メーターベース６１のメーター締結部７８，７８に前方から重なって、メーター締結部７８，７８を隠す。このため、メーター締結部７８，７８及び固定具８１，８１が外側から視認されることを防止でき、外観性が良い。
　また、メーターベース６１は、ヘッドライトブラケット３０，３０のメーター支持部４２の後縁４２ｂに沿って前上がりに傾斜して支持されている。これにより、メーター６０の表示部６０ａを簡単な構造で前上がりに傾斜させることができ、乗員からの表示部６０ａの視認性が良い。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, when viewed from the front of the vehicle, the meter support portions 42 and 42 of the headlight brackets 30 and 30 overlap the meter fastening portions 78 and 78 of the meter base 61 from the front, The parts 78 and 78 are hidden. For this reason, it can prevent that the meter fastening parts 78 and 78 and the fixing tools 81 and 81 are visually recognized from the outside, and its external appearance is good.
In addition, the meter base 61 is supported by being inclined upward and forward along the rear edge 42b of the meter support portion 42 of the headlight brackets 30 and 30. Thereby, the display part 60a of the meter 60 can be inclined forwardly with a simple structure, and the visibility of the display part 60a from the passenger is good.
