They currently aren’t in stock. I did send them my email. At least I could decided later. I image that 165 is for a pair….

Well, 165 AUD is about 108 USD.

So I had to go check my tail light housings to see and yep, like yours, double 1157’s.
The split lenses (red/amber) may use the single filament 1156 for turn signal in the amber section.(?)

Don’t remember what year yours is @xtiaan2000 , but here is the wiring diagram for mine (1977).
Green wire with a yellow stripe going to the right side does brake and turn signal to BOTH bulbs, green wire with black stripe covers both on the left. Sheesh!

Slocruisers does

I believe Slocruiser only has the outer seal around the lens. I've never seen the inner seal reproduced, hoping I'm wrong.

I think you’re right, but as Bob said, you can make that one.

Have any of you guys played with flexible resin 3d printing? I've been toying with the idea of getting a printer and as I was doing some background investigating, it seems like products like the prusament flex80 would be soft enough for light gaskets. The main complaint I have read is that its a bit of a slick surface, sometimes has trouble bridging, and can crack under high compression - none of which would be an issue for this kind of gasket... thoughts?

 

[scrapdaddy]

That gasket is shaped like a U, it slips on the front and back of the flat metal light housing . Is that something that could be printed?

Two pages and I still really haven’t gotten a difinitive answer. :/

Enjoying the banter though.

Trying to remember how these guys work. I see the four filaments, but don’t remember how each works. Parking, Break, Blinker

Anyone got this on the front of their mind, while I continue to search?

I wasn't able to check brake lights, but when I turn parking lights on, both bulbs light up.
When I turn on hazard lights - same. Both bulbs blink.
Hope that helps!

Exacto and sillycone rubber

Flat silicone / rubber and a laser cutter. IJS…

(Yes, I own one. Just need a pattern.)

 

[xtiaan2000]

Wait
So if send you one that I have, that is pretty much together you can replicate?

Do I hear a roar of a crowd?!

 

[scrapdaddy]

beat me to it.

This is the inner gasket, hard to see it has three sides. It folds over the light assembly edge. We all need this one, except the new ones.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Ooooo
These would be quite a nice addition!

 

[tucker74]

I made that inner gasket out of neoprene rubber with an exacto knife tracing my existing. Much easier than the outer gasket -

You talking to me? Sure.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Heck yea!

So Santa got me a resin 3d printer this holiday. There is clear resin and I think you can tint it. I am going to try to print lens covers. Just need a good STL.
