Help with 1940 parking light?
Posted by Joe Santana On 2011/5/28 19:10:25
I'm struggling trying to get the Duchess' parking lights to seat properly.
I have a vague recollection that the chrome clamp ring and the lamp socket retainer intertwine some way. But both surfaces are flat and I don't want to be twisting or breaking anything to test it out.
The retainer seats firmly in the body held by 2 small screws. The glass seats firmly on the rubber washer at the bottom of the clamp ring.
But the chrome clamp ring with the glass in it sticks out almost an 1/8th inch farther than it should. Also I'm worried with the vibration of the car, these will work their way off.
Would appreciate help. Trying not to spend the entire holiday on parking lights.
