Feeler for rear tail light seals - now with pics

[Akula69]

I am in the process of making a new set of the six seals that keep the water out of our MJ tail lights. These seals go around the bulb housing and seal against the plastic itself. There are six on each truck, and they are 1 3/4 inches OD and 1 inch ID.

 

I am making the replacement seals out of laminated close-cell foam that is mildew resistant and rot proof. I will post some pics if there is interest.

 

I want to see if anyone is interested in buying the sets, I am flexible but believe that .50 cents per seal would be reasonable. Please let me know.

 

PS: Mods - if this is in the wrong section please move.

Height comparison

 

I have tried them in the lights and they work very well, and are actually a better fit (more snug) when the scoket is inserted. Ya'll let me know if you want them by PM'ing me with your info.

 

Thanks

For some dumbass reason I couldn't dicyfer what you were talking about at first Jake. Put me down for a set. These could also be adapted to the front bulb sockets using the right punches? Si?

[dakal]

your'e in business dude

[deziped]

Awaiting their arrival. Thanks. See PM. :clapping: .

Would anyone happen to know if they would work for an XJ as well? If so, mark me down for 2 sets, otherwise if not XJ compatible, I'd still take 1 set for sure.

Absolutely could be adapted for the front as well as the XJ light seals (I would need someone to get the XJ dimentions to me - Ralph is at school). The punch set goes from 1/8 inch to 2 inches, and can cut through up to 1/2 inch material (if you wack it good). The set comes with 27 punches, can be ordered from online tool sellers for about 49.99 (and up) and is called Grip hollow punch set.

 

And, as I PM'd to one of the buyers, I'm not looking to make any money here - just cover the cost of the materials. I simply wanted to help us protect our $300.00 investment in our taillights. :chillin:

 

For those who want them, I take Paypal and just PM me here with your info. I will mail them regular mail for about .75 (and put some cardboard in the envelope so they don't get crushed).

[beaterjeep]

As soon as someone can get the XJ measurements I'll send you a PM with my info Akula. I'm still confined to my apartment, unable to just run outside and get the measurements myself, so I'm unfortunately going to have to rely on others for this one.

[Drahcir495]

Money sent :thumbsup:

[Akula69]

I mailed packages to Hornbrod, Drahcir, Deziped, and I believe Sinkrun (James).

 

If I missed anyone please let me know, and if you guys have problesm with them let me know.

 

Thanks

:cheers: Thank you.

[Drahcir495]

Got mine in Wednesday :D . I can't wait to get them in. :cheers:

[jimoshel]

I received mine and am quite happy with them. One minor problem. You charged me .75 cents for postage and I noticed it was $1,75. I owe you a buck. Jim

[deziped]

They installed just fine on the 86 & 89, a good snug fit. Thanks
