Hey Rudy, if you bite the bullet and fit it yourself, that'll be perfect practise to help me later on!

Yep I'm up for a Courtenay trip as and when we're all ready. Can lend a hand on the build to if it helps even though I don't know my way around the lesser engine too well. Any tools and workspace I have can also be at your disposal if needed.

Hi,
One of my light lenses seems to have sagged abit. Do u think I will get away with heating it in the oven and straightening it ?

You might get away with heating up the whole lamp and resetting the lense. Spot fixing won't work

[swast4]

Ok cheers, I'll give it a go, it feels strange sticking it in the oven though 😬

Given the amount of crap over the exposed adhesive I'd say split and reseal the lens

[aquilaproejct]

Split and reseal would be the safest

Thanks for your input guys, I thoughts I'd have a go at heating up and moving the lense and it has seemed to have worked. It's not perfectly sealed but since it's now just a track car and garaged the rest of the time it's not an issue.
When I removed the light, the fiberglass that the light bolts too was snapped in 2 places, which won't have helped, the light has probably been vibrating. So I've fiberglassed it back again along with a few other bits underneath. Fibreglassing is a horrible job, when access is restricted 😔

I had the same in south france with 37 degrees.
Thought it was the goo that could not keep up.
Will used doublesided tape again next time.

37 degree heat in a VX 😬

I used a hairdryer to soften the sealant on mine to remove the lens at it worked well. Lenses came away easier than I thought they would
