Step 4Final Enclosure Steps

Final Enclosure Steps
Step 4: Finish the Enclosure

A. Glue lenses onto lens holders with Loctite 460 superglue (regular superglue will frost the lenses with a white film caused by vapors as it dries). I used a flood lens in the center and spot lenses on each end.

B. Glue on a washer-nut to bottom of enclosure with JB-Weld epoxy to hold handlebar bracket.

C. Screw on aluminum back bezel and Lexan front bezel after lenses dry.

D. Attach a bracket such as the one pictured from old Vista Light, or any bracket that can fit the 3/4-inch enclosure base. I also used washers so the light can be adjusted right and left.
