Hey all,

    I'm tryting to do the final trimming of the wingtip lenses to fit 

into the wingtips, and I want to know:



What tools did you use to do it? File? Sanding? Razor blade? Other?



For rough trimming, I just used the tin snips, but it would be difficult 

to use them for final trimming without screwing up the part.



Thanks!

A bench type belt sander works great.

I used a belt sander also. Just take your time with it. Go slow.

I used a vixen file for the final work.
