Has anybody found a better way to install the glass and trim ring than I have for those Lucas bullet type lamps used on early Spitfires (and surely other cars)? These are the ones that have a glass bullet type lens and chrome retaining ring that are all held in place by the surrounding RUBBER FROM HELL!! THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY! It took me about two hours to install just three of those little buggers, (there are four more to be installed on the back) and there is just NO WAY that it took that long at the factory. I dont know, but t this point I may prefer to install the metal trim and windscreen glazing on MK 4 Spitfires than to try to get that little lip over the metal retaining rim. Is there a mini version of the rope trick? Some special tool that I can make instead of the small screwdriver that I am now using to get the blasted chrome retaining ring on without scratching the paint when the small screwdriver slips? Somebody MUST have a better way else these are the spawn of Lucas Hell!!!! My wife was afraid to approach me after the ordeal (and it her car)- Araggggh
OKI have taken my medicationall is calm...look at all the pretty colorsnowcan anybody offer a better solution? -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
