Old Style Tail Lights (1 Viewer)

[scrapdaddy]

What about those tail lights? Lenses aren't too bad, but those gaskets. Mine are cracked and dry rotted, just a shame to reuse them. Does anyone know somebody, who made some. I couldn't find any reference to the gaskets, in my search. Any ideas?

I'm going to get the ring rechromed, but I don't want to touch the rubber gasket. I'd like to get the housing Cad. plated, but not before I had new rubber.

You could use dental impession silicone, it reticulate in 3 to 5 mn, then you just hqve to cut the exess. The isssue is what color do you need. If you tell me the color you need I can search for you, many colors exist, but not black.

I bet that SLO cruisers has them, no?

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

just how factory do they need to look?

 

[scrapdaddy]

Pascal, sounds interesting. Dark gray, etc. would work for me.

Xtiaan, I don't think so, but I will call him. I had him send me everything he made, minus a few pieces I had.

Lambcrusher, For me, not too much. Function over form.

Scrapdaddy, I will search for you. As I am not at work next week, no answer before August. Dark grey difficult I think but pink or red (better) sounds me possible. If I find the producct I think I ll try to send you th extrusion pistol with mixing tips...

I'll be damn, went down and looked through the box from Slocruiser's and there they were.

Thank You, one more problem solved.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Pascal,

Thanks for thinking about me, but looks like we got them. Yeah, I'm a idiot!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Alright, how about the lenses. Pablo, your guy up to make some?

 

[tatat]

sorrry, I do not share your opinion..

Alright, how about the lenses. Pablo, your guy up to make some?

Last I heard he was working on them, I will ask!

 

[71greenpig]

Interested in lenses as well...

 

[scrapdaddy]

Yeah, I was wondering about that. My pile of used parts didn't have them. I have to take them from the parts pig, not sure of their condition. Really wasn't sure if there even was another gasket used there. Maybe I better look in my Slocruiser's box, again.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Ok, I got this sorted out. The gaskets I were looking for are the ones between the light housing and the body. John at Slocruisers, sells the one between the lens and chrome trim. I e-mailed him today, about making some of the body gasket.

I did pull the ones off the parts pig and they are like new, so I'm good to go, but would like a new set as well. Here's a picture.

Slocruiser's on the left and the one we need to be made is on the right. I'm going to Cad. plate the housings, before using.
