Ben Hutchings Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Well… bum. I was messing about strengthening one of my rear lamps and managed to snap it (ironic!) Anyone got one or two old spare ones they can flog me? I’m on a budget at the moment so don’t really want to spend £££ on a new one 😑 Not too worried if it’s crazed or a bit cracked for now.

RobPearce Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I think I may have. I'll take a look. Most likely not perfect but probably serviceable if I still have them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Just glue it back together! All of mine have been glued at some point, before flying off at speed, or getting crushed beyond repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 £15 delivered off ebay for new ones.... But superglue is your friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrapman Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Mmmmm, looks We may not have been furnished with all the facts in this instance. So you put it in the oven, and for some strange reason it melted..... 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Sorry Ben, 404. I found front lights for both Mk1 and Mk2 GT6s and rear light assemblies for a Mk3. I even found the base units for the early brake lights, but no lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Hutchings Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 In my defence… I did it to one and the results were perfect! I found that the clay will cure at just over 100°C and the lens plastic doesn’t get soft until about 120°. But then the second one didn’t go as well and I left it a bit long and I think a small crack at the bottom caused a hot spot (or I might have put it higher in the oven 😬) Not particularly proud of myself. But I do have one good reinforced lens guv! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
