No, just bent the Atlas one down towards the fiber optic ends. The top one can stay 'off' till I get Richmond Controls Gyro Lighting installed.
I read back through this post and I was wondering. How do you fill in the windows with that testors window maker? Do you use tape behind it or something? Anyone got a tutorial? thanks in advance. John
I usually start it at one corner and make a thick line across the top or side. Then I take a toothpick and 'pull' the line down or across to the other side.
That's some great work there Jerry. Keeping SP alive in a Big way :thumbs_up::thumbs_up: Not that familiar with fiber optics; or how it is set up. Do you have to use a capacitor with that to prevent from overloading it? Thanks Glen
Fiber optics are simply used as a light tube, to get light from wherever your bulb or LED is to the headlight. They do not connect to the electronics.
Window Maker - Krystal Kleer Technique My technique is to use a larger diameter "toothpick" if you have a large opening. The key is to get the Window Maker or the Krystal Kleer to adhere all around the edge of the window and all around the diameter of the toothpick while the toothpick is inserted in the window opening. When this happens, slowly withdraw the toothpick and the window will stay in place. If it is too thin, it may break and you will have to do it again using more Window maker. My two cents.
Sorry to dig this one up, but just want to thank Jerry on this, as I'm working on my Cal Northern SD9Es, and I knew he had done them somewhere. This thread helped tremendously on how to get that extra sheet metal behind the cab. Thanks, Jerry!
