a98pmalcolm Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Yer I'm interested for the right price and fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 I'm definitely still interested in the rings for the facelift headlights. Surely they could be pressed out of thin stainless steel and then chromed? Similar to the dash rings but obviously bigger. The manufacturing fault process would put tooling cost seriously high for the price this forum needs. Sadly it wouldn't warrant the cost. I think I have a solution. It may just not be the simplest.

Supradk Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I will start making these in 3-4 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 What is the likely installation method? Dremel the rings out to leave a flat base on the inserts to stick the metal rings to? Will certainly need the six facelift rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like a easy installation job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I would have thought a cap to go over the existing rings would be the best method. Would have a larger area for whatever glue you use to bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Cap would be the least destructive but i expect it'd cost too much? Any progress Noz? Have a spare pair of facelift inserts in primer with your name on them here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thread revival... I'm in the process of qualifying a dedicated machine/fabrication shop. This week I'm going to be prototyping headlight rings. I'll hopefully have a price shortly. From what I've seen, pre-facelift is 2 rings per light, facelift is 3? Please post any interest. I'll be gauging prices on quantity of people interested. Thanks REALLY happy I've finally pushed my customs work to the next level and hopefully taking it a bit more seriously with producing my OWN products in house rather than relying on designing them and contracting out the production. 1. 2. 3.

gdog1989 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Could also be interested in this was thinking about it the other day glad that someone has gone for actually doing these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Ordered a set of pre facelift headlights to receive condition and do a trial with. I've measured up an old set if inserts and got a design in mind for tooling. Will be ordering material for this in a few days. Finally making some progress.

Delboy52 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Do you need a pair of facelift inserts to trial with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Nice one Noz let us know how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 A set of facelift inserts would be good Del, PM me I'll forward my address. Get you a free set sorted out. I'm hoping the tooling for the fog and dipped beam will be the same, whereas facelift will require it's own main beam so I'll probably only do tooling for that if there's enough interest after prototypes have been made.

conorj Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'd be interested in a set of facelifts definitely. Picked up some chrome paint to refurb the rings on mine yesterday, but dont hold out much hope for it lasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy52 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Nice! Sorry I've been a bit slack getting the facelift inserts to you, been incredibly busy recently but will remove them in a couple of weeks for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Nice! something like this has been a long time coming and I think demand will be good for them. I thought it was primarily the facelift rings that were prone to peeling though rather than pre-facelift, so the demand might be for the facelifts rather than pre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Another Facelift interest here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 As soon as I have my trial set for the facelift, I can compare the sizes. I believe fog light and dipped beam will be the same. Only extra will be the main beam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
