WOW you are really going all out {which is good}, I didn't do none of that. I just started cutting small and progressed bigger until the projector fit, mounted housing to outside table, hooked up a 12volt power converted to power projector, adjusted cut-off horizontally against my fence, JB weld projector into housing-done, start other one. You can use a heat gun to separate lens but oven is much better. FYI some of the aftermarket housing are a real BIG PITA to get apart, much harder than the factory ones for whatever reason?
I can't do something without it appearing correct in my mind ! OCD is a PITA at times.
When you secured the Housings to the outside table... did you just use the flat of the bottom of the housing or was there extra leveling to do ?
I haven't even looked at the housings to determine if there is a flat to use but hoping there is.
I am setting up a 2x8 across two know good sawhorses and positioning the Housings over the sawhorses, making the end wall of the barn.
I plan on marking the position on the sawhorses and the floor where the sawhorses are located, sort of a before and after picture.
I always go to the "Nth" degree when I don't have too, sometime is it easier to read or hear about what others do.
I just need to get the lenses off to get started; maybe I can rent some oven time at a Ceramics Store, LoL !
Thanks for your comments.
