ChrisBcritter Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) I was looking around in the jewelry section at Hobby Lobby for some useful items; in particular something that could be used for headlight reflectors. I spotted these little earring clips: After examining them, they looked promising so I bought a pack. Pictures tell the rest. Step 1: Step 2: And there you have it. 1/4" may be pretty close for single beams, but for round quads they should be filed down to size. Maybe for spotlights too if you filed them down a bit more. The inside is more silver than chrome but some metal polish should help that. Hope this is useful for somebody!

ChrisBcritter Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Just did a little measuring with some of my models, and it looks like single light setups will work fine - they will need to be filed down a bit to fit most quad lights. Headlight lens sizes vary quite a bit on kits, even when they shouldn't, so your mileage may vary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torinobradley Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) I found these a while back. They are bearing cups or something for building fishing lures. They have a hole on the crack and in the bag we're the little disks from the hole. Here is a cup, lense, and disk: %5BURL=http://s153.photobucket.com/user/torinobradley/media/1966 Penske Sunoco Corvette L88/DSC01503.jpg.html]http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s223/torinobradley/1966 Penske Sunoco Corvette L88/DSC01503.jpg will have to look at those earrings next visit to HL will have to fix the link when I get home, sorry (mobile).
