Re: UPDATED: Longest retro ever...

Thanks man. The red things I used are called faucet washers, and they work amazing they're just soft enough to not have to worry about cracking anything and the keep everything perfect tightness. as for the screw length i couldnt find anything exact length in the width i used so i just cut them down. and as for being accessable for future adjustments they dont really adjust too much once they're in so i didnt worry about it.

Looking WAY good man! :thumbup:

What are you planning on sealing the back of the projector to the housing with? Anything?

And those faucet washers, are they just nylon washers?

Re: UPDATED: Longest retro ever...

And I think someone said the back of a retro shouldn't bring attention?

Did you make sure the bumper will still sit right with the ballasts mounted below like that? Btw, what is that that you're using to mount them?

Thanks man. and yeah they're just nylon. I saw them and new they'd be perfect. And what do you mean sealing the projectors to the housing?

Lol pray, I dont know i'll fgure it out somehow though.

Yeah, I checked before I mounted them at least 4 times. And to mount them I used 3 pieces of velcro and then the wire is picture frame wire twisted tight inside.

To keep the moisture and elements out of the entire housing. There were rubber donut looking things on there before.

oh ok. and i'm not completely sure yet. moistures never been a problem for me. i dont have the bottom running lights in and i never get condensation so i might just leave them how they are.
