Just to let you know the GB on the Euros will be significantly more than these. Single injection tooling is much less. There is a reason that no one else has made them yet.

MArk


Would it be possible to make those as two pieces, and bond them together, rather than using double injection?

Possible, yes cost effective for production probably not. But I can sell you a set of both very inexpensively.

We will have a vote on nicest ones winner gets them for free!!!

Anyone interested in a contest?


Can't figure out if you're making fun of me or not! Still, for that price, I might just go ahead. Although now I'd need to get three sets, so I'd still have a good set after I botch it all up.

Not making fun of you, I'm dead serious. I just tried and it's not too hard to do this. I cut both clear and amber at the inner web, sanded the edge smooth to the rib with a belt sander, and glued together with 5min epoxy on a flat surface. Then went back and added more epoxy on the inside after the 1st edge gluing. Turned out pretty nice.

Do understand the clear are $13.99 a set as they do cost me more to make. Also you can imagine I'm doing this as a promotion so I am loosing money to get these out there. I will hold it open for 2 weeks after I get this up and start contacting all that step forward. It will be with a code you will need to enter on the site, so you will need to bump the thread to get it.

My job was a bit rushed, but the results are acceptable to me. I will be putting on my car.

I'm thinking we should be able to do these at $46 a set. I really like the way they turned out.

Mark, what's the timing on these? I'd like to add them to my current order (orange or clear or both), but only if they can be shipped in April.

I was just finishing up the clear yesterday. Only got enough material to do 200 pcs (100 sets) so it didn't go as far as I had hopped. I do have the orange done and the Euro version may be a week or so (unless I play with them today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) )

I do need to get listed and get them listed and add the coupon to that I can get these moving, but yes you will be able to add to your cart as faast as I can get them listed.

Is the orange on the euro lense supposed to be a little darker than the US orange? I swear I remember seeing the hellas side by side and the Euros were a bit darker...

The current "Hellas" don't look that way, but I have seen what you are talking about.

My Hella Euro lenses are VERY dark orange compared to the USA orange - but they are vintage early 70s.
