G28 - Simple Mans, Simple REDO of an G28 LP640

[Simple Man]

Using some rubber washers with wing nuts.  Pretty happy with the seal.

I was putting a desiccant pack in my gun safe and was thinking of putting a couple inside the headlight once it is sealed to absorb any moisture.

For mounting the bottom tub, The location of one of the studs was moved.  The stud that was attached to the aluminum bracket, for the 3" lamp was removed.

Should be better in the new location.

Very Nice. Love the matte finish.

Thanks LB!  I believe Murci Me gave me the info on the paint that he used on his headlights.  I used a clear over the color.

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

 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.
