Trying to upload some pics but the files are too big. Dang it.
In looking for replacement lenses I have found that most available ones are not the 4.5in diameter of the AMI 500 and with 3 screw mount holes to the AMI’s 4. If I would have known these fender pedestal lights were going to give me so much trouble, between the attempts at recasting lenses, modifying the base for a two filament socket, and BREAKING the hollow mounting tube on one of them, I might have just bought new ones instead, but I’m so deep into this project that I must defeat it, must complete it. Currently on set number 3 of silicone molds, just dried, so I may just create good lenses yet. Waiting on a gasket for my pressure pot (required to cast bubble free resin) to complete the task.
Also very interested in disc brake conversions and potentially a rear end change to get the 54 up to modern speeds.
