Title: Murcie headlight pods and lens
Post by: apsara on March 20, 2013, 04:56:07 PM: I'm in need of some measurements from you guys with murcie kits. I have to machine out some head light buckets for someone, both left and right and make some lens to go over it. If anyone can give me some measurements of the light opening that will help me out alot, thanks.

Post by: No Bull on March 20, 2013, 09:22:53 PM: Good headlight buckets are a rarity and it's one of the last parts I'm needing for my car. My last option is to use the G28 buckets I have and do the best with them. Those who have OEM headlights have complete and sealed units. The only other option might be to measure a set from an original car and try to match them. Anyone out there with an OEM set willing to post pictures with dimensions?

Thanks,

Chris

Post by: apsara on March 20, 2013, 11:33:15 PM: the tail lights are to size. I just need to scale the fronts to fit one of the g28 kits.

Does anyone want lp640 or 670 seat foam? have to make some in 3 weeks, can put you on a waiting list if you want a set.

Post by: SchulzeA on March 20, 2013, 11:41:25 PM: Why not make them oem size since your making the lense and bucket? You already have to cut the old buckets from the body since they're molded in. I read the G28 buckets aren't the same dimensions On each side as well.

Post by: Tallon on March 21, 2013, 06:44:49 AM: I guess it also depends if you're going to use oem lens cause it's really thick or you're just placing a lexan lens on top

Post by: apsara on March 21, 2013, 11:42:35 AM: will be vac forming a 1/4" thick sheet of anti scratch coated lexan for the lens, to give it a nice curve and structure. Same stuff used for f1 fighter jets, it's super expensive for a 4x8 sheet around $900

Post by: usmc_butler on March 21, 2013, 03:18:38 PM: I have 2 sets if you want to purchase a set, 1 set is from bierhanzel. I gave $150 or $200 for them from him ill have to look back for reference.

Post by: apsara on March 21, 2013, 03:32:40 PM: thanks for the offer, but I don't want the ones from bierhanzel its missing the brows. Also I don't want them in fiberglass, customer request it to be made of carbon or abs molded plastic. I'm better off making a new set
