G28 - Simple Mans, Simple REDO of an G28 LP640

Wiring is a tedious activity

Makes my eyes blurry 

[Simple Man]

before hooking up the wiring a mock up was done. Pretty happy how it is coming out so far

The edges of the top bucket need to be cut down to fit inside the glass.

Also no sure if the top surface (where the glass rests) needs to be thickened.

I want to be able to put a straight cutting blade in from the side to cut the adhesive easily that will be between the glass and the bucket.

[Simple Man]

Assembled the lamps in the bucket and did a mock up with the lower bucket. A nice seal with the weather striping

[Simple Man]

 More progress

SM:  Awesome work.   Do you plan on driving under water?   Is there a chance that vapor will cloud the lens later when used? or will these be sealed units?

Thanks 01! Well mine will be sealed but not by using silicone around the rings and lamps. Hopefully work out as planned and keep moisture out, we will see

Oem lights fog up as well

yaawn.....

[Simple Man]

made some changes to the back side of the buckets.

Dyna glass to build/smooth the egdes

Used some 3m adhesive then reinforced with fiber glass

[Simple Man]

The smaller hella light ....

bought a bracket which made it easier to mount in the confined space.

Onward!!

[Simple Man]

Need to make some adjusters and brackets for my headlight lamps.

[Simple Man]

Lost count of how many times I have had the front brake bracket, calipers and tires off

The adjusted bracket is back and in and everything appears to work correctly!!    Finally?

The rears brakes will be next, although the issue will probably resolved by taking .030 off the diameter of the rotor...we will have to see.

bought oem sized replica headlight buckets a couple of years ago.

time to get them cleaned up!

Sand, putty, sand prime, and prime sand prime

[Simple Man]

The REDO headlight parts are pretty beat.  The rings are melted and out of round.  Not sure if it was caused by the heat from the projectors.

Using a 3" for the larger light which replaces the 2.5".  The fog light will be the Hella used in the OEM headlight.

[Simple Man]

Took a look at the existing headlights on the REDO. They are the G28 buckets.

Dont think I will be reusing these

That will work too.  My adapter plate bolts to the oem fiero spindle.  My problem is that the oem caliper mounts to the inside of the mounting arms and the Corvette adapter plate bolts on the outside surface.  I'm going to have to remove my spindles and mill the arms flat and on a 90 degree to the spindle.  As it is now, the caliper is cocked.
