Hi again all,
I'm taking this a little further by starting off with the side repeater indicator's.
While buying some resin materials the other day I got speaking to the proprietor of the business and showed him a good side indicator.
His opinion is that such a small part would not require degassing of the resin or any fancy materials.
We have come up with a way of making the lens and lamp base in resin as one piece, and the unit would be completed with the addition of a flat metal or plastic plate incorporating a bulb holder and a couple of fixing screws. The two parts would then be joined using a waterproof adhesive sealer. Of course you could still change the bulb as on the original units.
I'm also making a mould for the gaskets which the lamp unit's sit on.
Is everybody using the "flat" gasket? The new lamps that I have came with both a flat gasket and a gasket with a thicker leading edge presumable for fitting to bodywork with more of a curve on it.
Most of the photos I've checked out show a flat gasket of uniform thickness between lamp and body, but just thought I'd ask for more confirmation.
