WTB [BNE] Ratty RHS heart housing
Has anyone got a ratty RHS heart tail light housing I could extract from them. I can swap it for a nice one, or $$$. (If it is complete with lenses,
then I could swap an assembled one)
Emerald has got the LHS with great patina to match the rest of the car, but it didn't come with the RHS.
This is the LHS
I have seen the set on ebay, but I don't need the whole set.
Simon, Birkdale, Qld, PM

paint strip the one you've got, leave it in some hydrocloric acid for 1/2 hour, wipe it with a rag and leave it for a day and it will look like the
other one ( failing that i have an oval rhs tail light housing you can cut the heart into and do the same thing )

What happened to your comment of just "cut the heart into it"? Would love to see some pictures of how you've done this, you must be one hell of a
metal fabricator to get a snowflake to look like a heart taillight!!!

How is looking up your email address going to show us anything? Less talking about it and more posting pictures...

There is a paint you can buy, I used it for a spa bath I have and you paint the black or white base on, then another coat of rusty brown. The top coat
reacts with the base coat and makes it look rusty. This means the actual metal housing isnt rusting and you can keep the one you have.
I will find out what it is called.
C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

What drugs are you on? The above comment doesnt even make
sense since you haven't posted a single picture, just an email address for some strange reason?
Perhaps you need to move with the times and learn how to post pictures on a forum rather than odd ramblings which aren't helping Simon or others at
all...

Thanks Heath, I'll give that a try.
Might also come in handy for the other parts of the car which I need to blend in.

since the three options that i put to simon were not helping, i offer to hand fabricate a rhs housing ( sorry was a bit vague on the snowflake
housing, but it was around 87 that a drunk in a hire car rear ended my 54 and drove off. i can't even remember what i ended up doing with the w deck
lid, but i do remember making a heart out of a snowflake and yes i think i remember there was some fabricating going on, and no it wasn't a different
size ) his options are i can make it from scratch or make it from a snowflake housing. ( and make look the same as the lhs one by using the
hydrocloric method i mentioned )
p.s thanks for the selective editing

Thanks for the offer, but I'll try the paint first. If that doesn't work, I'll try your hydrochloric acid trick - I've got a few housings to work
with so no need to fab up anothery.
I was just putting feelers out to see if by some miracle there was one sitting on someone's shelf.
