Refitting modified / orangified tail lights..

(1/2) > >>

traNZam:
OK. I just got my tail light lenses back from David Azzipardi in Minto having had the oranage sections for the indicators fitted.
In my case, for a '76 T/A, but my query could apply to any car.
The gaskets between the lenses and the "buckets" are quite hard and there also appears to have been a gasket of some type around the 4 circular holes in the body on each side.
Naturally, I want the whole assembly to be watertight.
Is there a product, like silicon sealer, that I can use to keep the water out, but that does not set to allow the tailights to be removed at any point in the future??

Thanks,

Jason.

You may also need to fabricate a blanking piece to separate the indicator from the tail lights...otherwise, the lights will leak over and show amber when you put your foot on the brake, and VV. I usually make them from thin sheet gal, with a couple of little tabs to locate them, then urethane or epoxy them into position. 

You can see the piece here in my 71's lights.
