Actually, on a more serious note, there is an import shop in Newcastle that has a "stack" of FTO lights etc. If you have trouble getting one, I will see what they will charge for one (or if they have a broken one - unlikely).

Hey mrx, can you please give me their number because I'm desperately searching for a wiring loom to the LHS indicator/foglight assembly.

How about squared looking lights - like on the 300ZX?? I noticed a Carbon Fibre bonnet on the UAS site which has a right angled section where the light housing sits - if it is an fto bonnet then it would need a light housing with a square edge on the upper centre corner. Perhaps even something like the BA falcon headlights????

maybe new FTO headlight arrangement? Like the new BA's so you can see the housings?

Dual headlights? Get rid of the 9006, outer light uses a H1 and inner a H4, so dual lights like beemers?

Okay so what is the simple fix?
You know the search on the site is next to useless.
My left headlight is looking dodge.
Perhaps a link?

I reckon the search works well. When I do a search on "delaminating" I get results for 4 different topics, what happens when you search? :?

i'm willing to be he's using the site search rather than the forum search, as the two aren't fully integrated yet it and return different results

Makes sense.

OK, to be as helpful as we can, use the following link and type in the word "delaminating"

You are correct, the whopping huge search box in the top corner was my mistake. Very misleading. :? Perhaps a small link to the forums search from this search page would be handy Mr Morison. Although I won't be cought out again. :D

So the answer in brief is to find a plastics fabricator who deals with delaminating windows from planes or the like. If I find someone in Brisbane I will let you all know.

Thanks
John.
