I made mine out of the plastic covers for a fluorescent light, they fit inside the overriders before they are bolted back on.

yeah...what Trev said...I made my light cover's out of old perspex I found for my wagon..
It's not rocket science...Paul HAD to make those for Benny's wagon because it's a customer's job!
The hardest part is to make the little "legs" that hold the thing in place, I did mine with a heat gun (electric paint stripper, 'ya know those over-powerful hair dryer things!) and bent 'em around a bit of steel off cut, then cut & glued them to the lens with superglue. As for the frosted look you can always lightly spray the inside with a mixture of clear and white.
It's easy if you give it a go, Billy.

I know it's not hard to make but sometimes you just get sick & tired of making stuff------- I like a lot of you have made most of the stuff you need but sometimes you want the easy way out!!

Great - "how to" thread for rear wagon lenses. That fresh chrome looks amazing.
Smoth Customs - Will you seal between the lense and the overrider? to keep dust or water out?
