First off thanks to those of you that bought my visors. we made some visor screws that are currently of for nickel plating as I write this. This will be ready this next week.

We did also make the front turn signal lens screws. These are an unusual animal in that they are not quite what the appear to be. Did you even notice that they strip out a little easier than most screws? We believe this to be a design feature. Most screws are steel either stainless or carbon with plating on them. If you have an original you will notice it sounds a little different if you drop it on concrete. The reason is that they are made out of aluminum.

This is because they were designed to strip out. Yes intended to strip. If they were over tightened. Mechanically you could put much more pressure than you would want onto the lenses with a steel screw. Think about it if you have ever cracked a lens it more than likely was not with the OEM screw in it. I know I have stripped out a few.

As these are both small and can easily ship in a small padded envelope we decided to release a few Group Buys together so that you can have some stuff to do and save on shipping

The short list

Visor screw Reg $5 a set GB price $3.50 for all 4 (note the finish on the screw in the picture is wrong, it is being re plated now.

The turn signal screws Red $1.75 each ($7.00 a set) GB price $3.75 a set
And if you are planing to replace the screws you can get new lenses at a reduced price
Amber set of 2 (reg $24) with screws $12 a set!
Clear set of 2 (reg $32) with screws $16 a set!

And yes while you are there I do have the new seals too. Yes reg $16.50 a set I can add in for $10 if added in with the screws. This will give you a quick and easy afternoon project and save some cash!

So

Who's interested?

I am - just got some NOS Hella clear turn lenses.

Another great product! I believe those same screws are using on side markers too. Do you happen to also have the rubber washers that go under the screw head to seal the lens? I was getting ready to try to source some at the local hardware but they would be a nice addition to the screws. [edit: looking at the PET, it looks like the rubber washers are for the side markers only. Mine migrated to my turn signals somehow over the years.]

At that price point I will do these. We also made a variant of the clam shell that we could market for 6 conversions too

I'm in for some clear lenses and seals. The screws come with it, right? Do I need the visor screws? Is the new batch of visors in yet?
Thank you,

The screw are offered as stand alone so those that want the CW screws can get them. If you buy the hardware you can get the rest at a good discount. The focus was mainly on the hardware, but I guess you could say they were included as you will not get the discount without them.



Update on the visors we are waiting for more material should be here next week.

Yes we are setting these up to be able to consolidate for those that want them. I did want to list all the GBs together but they get lost.

What codes do we need for GB pricing on these parts? I want to pay for the speedo drive housing but wanted to order these parts at the same time.

Posted by: Mikey914 Apr 11 2020, 02:02 PM

had an issue with the plating company not being there Friday when I went to pick up the visor screws so held off on the codes until I know when I will have in hand. I suspect they were just running shortened hours but I didn't get a call.
Figured I should be able to open this next week. If I have to run a few more and take to another plating company I will.

Mark

Codes sent to all so far,
We will combine so you can do multiple GBs together.

Was a little hard to manage all the GBs open at once and make codes play well together.
If anyone has an issue let me know.
Mark

Hi Mark, I'd missed the GB thread for the visor screws and ordered a set from the website last night.

Any chance I could order some additional turn signal screws and lens gaskets to send with the Visor screws I ordered?

Thanks, Nick

You know I recall there was a thin washer that was plastic on the front. Does that sound right?
