anyone got any old grp light buckets or old body sections?

[hedgefinder]

Before I go and make a small mould and make up a set I thought I would just ask if anyone has any old circular head or tail light buckets or bodywork apertures approximately 70 to 100 internal diameter?
need 2 with flat bottom, flat sides and preferrably with an outer lip at the front to mount onto flat bodywork?
they will be getting work done on them and be moulded in so dont have to be perfect.
anyone?


just for clarity, something like this in fibreglass but prefferably with a 10 to 20mm lip on the outer front edge...depth isnt so important as I can just cut the back off if needed.....

Is it only me that finds that picture a little disturbing....

If you get stuck, a jam jar suitably cut could do the job! I'm old enough to remember the old (Ronco?) advert with a glass cutting set to turn old bottles into drinking glasses
Can't imagine it passing H&S rules now (or even then 1970's?)

something like that might be ok to use as a mould but it isnt grp unless i make soeme from the mould...

Vehicle Wiring Products or Auto Electrical supplies have what you need?

mostly in ABS , but not in fibreglass which I would much prefer..

gave up, stopped being a lazy arse and just made a mould and glassed/made some up myself took almost as long as thinking about doing it.....almost finished..

I remember reading probably 30 years ago in an early kit car magazine about one builder who used his girlfriends bra as the light bucket on the master pattern ! Wonder it if was for 5.75" or 7", more worrying is if it was for a rectangular light
