Brief Description: LED Nav and Strobe lights
|
|
The LED Nav lights and strob and the power supplys all arrived today so I decided I'd have a change from the fuse bottom skins and install the lights. I ended up spending a LOT of time and only got the Right set of lights installed, I sent Jeff a template of the wing tips, and the mirrored plates were close, but they required some trimming, Jeff said to install the strobe 1st, wihch is pretty straight forward, and I did just that, but when I went to install the LED Nav lites and their associated mirrored plate, the top of the plate projected way too far above the rim of the wing tip, After some noodling, I decided to take the Strob plat off and the work on the NAV lite portion, I had to move it down as far as possible, in order to get enough clearance on the top, and that required trimming material from both the mirrored plexi and the alum backing plate, I also had to bevel the plexi to get it to clear the lens when th elens is mounted, The disc sander and the scotchbrite wheel worked fine on reducing/shaping the surfaces. Then I trimmed the strobe mirror so that it butted up to the NAV LED. All in all it wasn't difficult, I was just a bit nervous about messing up the wingtips and the lens. Now That I know what to do, the LEFT should go much faster.
