I have a pair of the 914 euro driving lights that need the reflector re chromed. The lenses are "glued" into the reflector similar to the 7" H4's. There is no rubber seal like the 914 fogs. Anyone successful in separating these?
Thanks in advance, Brad Mayeur Attached image(s)

Brad,
I've not done them myself, but you might try finding the appropriate solvent for the glue/adhesive used, then dribble it around the rim to soak in, set for a day or two, & soften the glue/adhesive before prying them apart. Since you're restoring them anyway, it won't matter if the solvent also removes paint &/or the reflector surface. If you can find the typical type of glue/adhesive from the old specs - SWAG wild guess otherwise or if done by a DAPO later - then you can google for the solvent to use with that type. I'm blanking on his actual name or screen-name, but the member with the Caddy Shack movie photo gofer & caddy/Bill Murray as his avatar pic on the left of his posts is a chemist, & may have some ideas on solvents if you PM to him. Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
