Depressive

[leebo]

well seeing as the comp is sat on the drive in bits awaiting new cam and valve rockers looking really depressed, I think its time I whipped the headlight clusters out and done something with the horrid excess silver surround. but 1st coffee I'll post pictures as I go if I manage it without breaking anything. (I've got some new ones lined up if it goes wrong lol)

rite folks update time - lights of and ready for heating

[leebo]

this part requires the oven to be on, and if like me supervised by a adult as the ovens hot and i burnt myself before even putting the light in....lol

[leebo]

ok so the lights are part and being painted

[leebo]

took longer to get all the poxy epoxy off, more pics in 30 mins

[leebo]

so heres the finished light cluster, mmmmmmmm tidy, not sure il get round to refiting them tonight

[reidy]

id assume he left some glue on the inside where it was,then put them back into the oven for 30 more mins

High temp silicone should do the job. or RTV sealant in black

[jw67]

Nice work so far dude

[leebo]

the sealant they used never really softened up as much as I had expected. used black high temp sealant to reseal which I've clamped and will apply more sealant to make sure when this cures.... wahooo

[wangtastic]

I love the pic of the light in the oven.

made me laugh very hard. :)

[leebo]

coffee and then its time to refit the lights and bumper.

[John_T_Sport]

you love your coffee!! ill be watching this!!

[nrgizerbunny]

I hope you get a good seal with your silicone!

[leebo]

i put a extra bead of marine sillicone round the very edge between the lens plastic and the black housing..... im 99.3% sure ive sealed it "proper job" style heres the finished look..... unfortunatly :censor: as my car dont start atm and the suns refelecting off the front its hard to get both lights into the same photo :ffs:. i shall take some more when the sun buggers off and i can stick the lights on.. thanks for watching guys

[leebo]

as you can see 1 cup of coffee didnt do the trick and i left the under tray hanging off - FAIL -
