July 10, 201113 yr Author comment_361126 you reckon you could do the little reflector in the rear bar? The Round or Square one ? It looks like it has a backing on the lens itself, so I'm not sure whats in between them, it may have reflective material or something, Can I make them ? probably not. I don't want to destroy the ones I have to see how it works.

August 13, 201113 yr Author comment_363952 Finished..... I found that the mold of the outer tail light I took, was missing a 'step', I did not find this till I tried to fit the outer 'chrome ring'. When I compared this to the original lens, I saw the small difference, I had to pack spacers to the mounting point of the chrome ring, about 3-4 mm worth, from the outside you would not notice it. I'll have to talk to my brother and put my original hand made lens in his lathe and cut a 'step', and make another mold of it. but, other than that, I'm very happy Nigel Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/39647-jdm-style-tail-lights/?&page=5#findComment-363952 Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 15, 201113 yr Author comment_364095 Hi,I'll make a change in the outer lens mold, and make 1 set, and see how they come out, (it may take a month)I'm not sure on how much I should ask for a 'set', but I need to figure out what they cost me in time a martial.but I have seen originals go for, mid $600Nigel Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/39647-jdm-style-tail-lights/?&page=5#findComment-364095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
