fla 9 Posted April 8, 2022 Just took mine off to clean and the seal has perished. I've been experimenting with some thin walled silicone tube which fits in but its slightly too thick and wont allow the light to sit properly. Trimming it causes the edges to splay out and they dont do much sealing! Any other ideas? Mine are clear repeaters, not the orange ones Thanks Hasan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted April 8, 2022 What about using heat shrink and piping silicone inside via a syringe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted April 8, 2022 You mean like creating a silicone-filled tube of heat shrink? That sounds a good idea. I've got some small syringes, just need to see if I've got the right length of heat shrink Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted April 8, 2022 Or use neoprene and cut the seal using 2 blades with a distance piece between to cut parallel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted April 8, 2022 Actually I've got some 1mm neoprene sheet which I'll prob use. Rather than a recessed seal I'll put it over the whole base and seal the recess which held the old seal. Good ideas there Dox! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fla 9 Posted April 11, 2022 i have some Glaswegian blood in me somehow! I'll have a look on Ebay but for the moment i've used some grey butyl tape, stretched to thin it out and seems to be ok, plus matches the original colour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keyo 47 Posted April 11, 2022 If you decide to get some original ones you can still buy hella which is a damn rarity for any lense - I have got about 10 sets here as have three cars that use them because I can see on Hella light they are phasing out. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223093664313?fits=Model%3ACorrado&epid=648812553&hash=item33f16b2a39:g:NqYAAOSwytFbasHk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
