I think you are the one needing a hand there Richard but hard work keeps you young.

Hi Terry,

I used a template that was borrowed to me by Werner Alker. He made the template off a later beetle headlight that already had the tabs installed.

Terry my Early Bay is just about done in the spray shop,

Then a week at the upholstery, then back here for the assembly,

Will then take photos of the whole process to help you should you still want it.

Will give you both options, and give measurements for future guys wanting to do the same.

Herman, where is the project thread for this early bay you're talking about?

Sorry Herman. I just saw it under Projects.

Thanks Herman the back is playing up so at this stage I cant sit for long so I will be in the horizontal position for a few days or week so no rush.
Thank you for your offer.

Should there be a left and right light and backing plate as I seem to have both the same arrows on the side both face the same way.

The arrows are to show if RHD or LHD lights, so the arrows should face the same way....
