Fellow Healeyoids,
I wanted to thank you all for helping on the chrome ring installation. I
found an old dental pick and heated it up and bent it with a curly q. Next
I was going to get a nylon pick or wooden tool but did not need it. I got
one side in five minutes, the other took 30 minutes as the little damn lens
kept falling out. I finally tacked the lens in with a hot glue gun then
went to town on the ring. I then started the car and sat in it. I has not
been on the road since 1983. I may take it around the block this week. I
will keep you all posted. Thanks again!
