Serge Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Alex stopped by today and I finally got off my jerk and started to work on this. We used a spare bowl I had laying around to test and see how to cut it right so that the projector fits. I found that the best way to do it is cut around the little line that the reflector bowl has on the back (it's a little thin line running around the back). I used a cutting disc to make the initial cut and then used a stone grinding disc to take care of the rest.It fits really well! After playing around with it, we set the glue and I have it in the garage curing as I write this.ToolsDry fit w/o shield or shroudMy cutting skills biatchesAlex found an interesting use for the dust created by cutting the reflector bowl (it smells like crap by the way).

Veneficus Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 So if you had to give this a difficulty rating thus far, what would you place it at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yangotang Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 It was pretty simple, actually - provided that you have a dremel tool and a cutoff wheel and grinding bits.Thus far: Probably a 3 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 So if you had to give this a difficulty rating thus far, what would you place it at?←It all depends on how comfortable you are with cutting stuff with a dremel and fabbing stuff out of various plastic pieces.On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being changing an 850 stock deck and 10 being changing out pistons... this is like a 4.

Boomin850 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Yea the begining is really easy. Mounting the projectors is a B. Also de-fluting lenses is ....dont even ask.-MIKE D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounting and gluing the little posts that the projector screws into is a pain! I'm waiting for mine to cure.. but I think we used the wrong adheasive so I'm going to re-do it with JB Weld.

I have used it on a broken driver's mirror support and it has eventually cracked on me after a year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 FUDGE.. lol.. I accidently got alcohol on the reflector portion that won't be covered by the shroud so it's visible... oops!Oh well, good thing this was a test bowl I was playing with, so no worries.

Used JB weld/2 part epoxy/hot glue. It still was super scary to put the screws in even know I already threaded them. Ended up holding the posts in place with needlenose pliars while I put in the screws.-MIKE D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case, I used a ziptie, then used JB Weld around it and it worked out pretty well. It all depends on what you are trying to do. I don't think Serge has much of a choice.
