Landing lights glasses

[Thomas Kube]

Hi,
While dismantling the cowling for new paint we found the glasses broken.

Does anybody know of a source to get spares?
I send Joan already a message…

Thanks,

Thomas

We found a ‚replacement‘ and could help out if someone wants some spare.

Thomas-where did you find replacement? Both of mine are cloudy.

[Thomas Kube]

Please send me an email to thomas_kube@me.com.

I give you some information.

Are you talking about the plastic covers that are attached to the nose bowl itself? It’s just plexiglass. Some owners have purchased stock plexiglass at the hardware store and melted it on a stainless steel bowl in the oven.

[Thomas Kube]

We made a top and bottom mold for the plexiglass to precise. Works great.

Btw, I own a laser cutter that can do a really nice job cutting out circles, and can even add an engraved logo.

I’ll owe nelson a pair of those…will try to post a picture later today.

We also need a vacu-form in order to make a compound curve that the light covers have. Or, the other option is to make a clay mold of the original and then use it as a form in the oven.

Has there been any further progress in what style/procedure would be the preferred replacement method for our faulty lenses? Mine are pretty ratty and I would love a simple replacement option… Thanks.
