Lighting question....

I installed my lights according to instructions - strapping tape, 75
degrees, and all...

The lenses were intact through the entire manufacturing process. I put them
in fine.
Today I was working on the wingtips and needed to remove the light
assemblies and found that every screwhole had cracks.

Anyone else have this issue?

I'm kinda bummed - knowing that subsequent installations will be more
difficult and won't be as tight.

At a minimum, I need to order a new set of lenses...but I think I need some
building advice when it comes to these things......

Thanks,
Ralph Capen

You sound like you didn't really install them the way the new RV-10
Duckworks kits are made. With the new ones, there are no screw holes
in the lenses at all, only in the retaining brackets. Give Don a
call and verify you have what you really need and he'll help get you
on the right track. There are no holes drilled in any of the lenses.

The older ones are supposed to be drilled through.....on the 6's anyway...

Now I know there's a better way - maybe a retrofit too.....

I'll give Don a call...

Thanks

Hi Ralph,
Tim is correct, the RV-10 lens has NO holes drilled in it.
Give me a call,
Don
