Default 1 inch hole saw

Hi

I've been making replacement lenses for the marker lights for years, lacking a source of NOS. I'll have to check the hole saw size, but I have one that the ID of the cut out is just right for the marker lamps. I've used red lexan for tail lights and clear for the front. If you want he white sand both sides with 220 grit wet sand paper gives and acceptable white. Or if you can find white plastic boxes saw the holes out of that. Best done by clamping the plastic on a drill press with some wood underneath for saw clearance on a drill press.

If you use 1/8 inch thick lexan you don't get the warping of the thinner originals.

Cheers Phil
