 Posted: Tue Dec 26, 2006 8:04 pm Post subject: Landing Light Lens Trimming |
 |
|
How do you trim acrylic? What tools are best for this? I have to trim
about 1 inch off one side of the landing light lens for the Landing
light option on my CH601. I will be grateful for any advice.
Also, I'm having a heck of a time getting the lights in without losing
the springs on the assembly. Does anyone have a good technique for the
installation of the actual lights and the four screws, four springs,
etc. I got flippin' made today and started talking to myself while
trying to get those things screwed in. Someday I'm going to have to
change a bulb. Any thoughts?

Brad-
1. I put duct tape on both sides (Front+back) of the cut line and cut
with a fine blade and high speed on my bandsaw. Leave a little extra stock
for the inevitable little chips and finish up with a belt or disc sander.
2. I went down to the local hardware store and bought a batch of springs
of differing lengths and compression strengths to compensate for the final
lens mount angle. It's a lot easier to install a short spring where
necessary than to try to install longer, "One size fits all" springs. Hope
this helps.
