34 turn signals in headlight bucket help
Picked up these turn sigs that fit into the bucket but have to be drilled in. I don't want to mess up my buckets and I can't figure out how to take them apart to drill safely into the reflector.
Can't find any threads on this, any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks |

I suggest you make up something with some flat stock with two small bolts soldered sticking out then silicone or JB weld that onto the rejecter so they can be removed later if needed .

Aren't they mounted in the reflector? If so try finding a set of standard 2 bulb reflectors.

Re: 34 turn signals in headlight bucket help
Thanks Ted. Deuce, I bought the buckets from a guy and he threw in the kit which has the two light fixtures that screw into the reflector. I'm just trying to get the reflector out without messing anything up so I can drill clean holes. They are in almost perfect shape which is why I'm trying to be careful, I'd hate to screw them up!!!
Thanks |

The reflectors are normally spring clipped to the HL rim with a cork gasket ,

Re: 34 turn signals in headlight bucket help
It seems that most guys put the signal bulb in the original parking light bulb position. I took a different route. I bought the signal light brackets (actually hoods) from Parr street rod parts. To install the kit I used a repro Drake set of reflectors without the parking light holes because I wanted the signal light to be at the lower part of the lamp.
Here are the lights on my '34 and here is the step drill I used to make the hole in the reflector. I can't say enough good things about step drills for sheet metal. No more oval holes! |
