Moot point anyway, this thread has nothing to do with edging and I won't be arranging a group buy on it.

okay , to be discussed in its own thread , presumably there will be a demand as mine appear to have lost the factory stuff.

Fitted a strip of 1mm self adhesive foam when I reseated my lights. Just ran out so I am trying to find where I bought it to do the same to the new light lenses. Had to buy a 2m x 1m sheet last time to get 1mm thick. 3mm thick is easy to get, but not thinner stuff. If anyone has a link to some thin self adhesive go am that will be great.

Yes it does need to be thin or easily compressed.  I had a go with draught excluder but it was way too thick.

Try a double glazing supplier, as they normally sell 1mm double sided foam tape.

Most have already been ordered in advance, however if you add your name then I can provide them when the advance orders have been sent out.

I still haven't test fitted the other side, i've offered it up and it appears to fit well, however I want to test two different lens bonding materials so i'm resisting fitting the other side until the other material arrives.

Update: One small quality issue has been addressed (very minor, however I wouldn't want to have 200 odd lenses with the same issue). Production should start soon.
