Rear Reflector Refinishing Experiment

[SCWDP911]

Well, my experimental reflector came without, so I will fab up something to fasten it with - basically use the early reflector mounting system with studs that will be epoxied on the reflector and then use backing plates and nuts where it goes through the rear section between the fenders...

However, on my original reflector, they came off rather easy... too easy! In fact, that was one of teh reasons I decided to go ahead and do this, as one had come loose, and so the reflector did not lay flush as it should. All of mine came off, fairly clean, but I will clean them up and reepoxy/glue them on and hope for the best. I do not know anything else to try...

So did you just pry them off with something?

Hey Tom,

Still going at it I see... I hav enot done anything with mine since my last post. Work has been a bear and I have had so many other projects going on, this one has taken the back seat.

Mine looked like they were glued on from the factory and yes, they pried off rather cleanly. You might consider lying it in the sun for a bit first to get the glue soft.

Of course, YMMV, so proceed with caution!
