914 Front Turn Signal Assembly European conversion kit, Auto Atlanta part number 9146438 Options

[Jezibel]

OK, guys. Here we go again. I just bought the AUTO ATLANTA 'Euro Turn Signal conversion assembly', which is a set of two bulb holders made from stock aluminum sheeting and bent to (supposedly) conform to the lower section of the US type turn signal assembly housing. After quite a bit of trying to make them fit, I finally gave up and am turning to the forum (once again) to find out exactly what's going with this supposedly "...easy conversion set that has satisfied thousands of Auto Atlanta purchasers"...?

It's pretty clear that however they are supposed to 'easily fit' the turn signal housings, they absolutely do not. Any help with this annoying matter would be most appreciated. Frankly, I'm starting to get a teensy bit irritated with some of the items I've gotten from AUTO ATLANTA (including a pricey replica 914GT double grill engine cover that was rather hastily and sloppily put together), recently.

Nuff sed, but any insights on this would be helpful...

With all due respect, George, I am not impressed with his (Patrik's) work if this is an example. The items in reference would not fit the turn signal housings without some significant cutting away of excess metal. It's frustrating, since they are listed as 'an easy fit, etc., etc.' I did in fact cut away some of the sheet aluminum on both sides but they are still an imprecise fit. I eventually decided to order a pair of your pre-AUTO ATLANTA wired Euro-type front turn signal housings (order placed today) so as to simplify my time/effort expended.
