The new batch of lens just arrived UPS, saved some money having them shipped UPS instead of driving to get them. I am keeping one set for myself, so I have 19 sets available. **now 15 sets available** **Now 14 sets** ***now 12 sets**

p.s. The thank you card is not important, you could use a used birthday card or whatever you have laying around and it would be fine. It keeps the clowns from pilfering my mail if you can't see thru the envelope. I only had that happen once about ten years ago at Christmas but now I try to keep my guard up.

I will take a set if they are still available. I would be glad to send you the money up front to make it easier on you. Thanks for doing this, those look awesome, should be a nice upgrade for my scratched and sad Rallye dash!

Ok, last call before I put them away for the winter. If you need a set speak up now before the sumer stuff goes in the attic and the winter stuff comes out.

FYI, just about everybody has eighter a flat screen tv and or a computer. They (monster and others) make screen cleaning kits that I'm sure some of you all ready have and the rest should have. They are great for cleaning flat screen tv's computer monitors and yes,,,your nice new clear lenses. We all need to get out of the habbit of abusing our optic quality plastics with wood (paper towels) and windex (alcohol and wax) I try but sometimes I still catch myself using wood products to clean a screen because I grew up with glass and now everything is plastic.

FYI, I was practicing installing the new lenses in my spare cluster and noticed that the small lenses are so slightly curved that you don't need to mess with heating and curving them. Make sure they are at least warm and then clamp them in place while you apply the epoxy to the stud locations and just let the epoxy set up completly and they will follow the shape of the cluster. Quicky clamps with the rubber type pads work really nice. So instead of heating and trying to maintain the curve while you cool them down, it is much easier to warm them, clamp them in place and than glue them to the plastic studs. I curved a set last night and they were perfect, I woke up this morning and they were completly flat again. I left them sitting on the kitchen table and they lost their curve.

WP29, do you still have a set of lens available ? I'm redoing my dash and cluster and the originals are in bad shape. The previous owner used tape and scratched them up. I'll try to upload a pic of what I'm doing - added white faces to the gauges and installed red glow wire around each gauge. Looks awesome and will match my red exterior once I paint it. I have a WP29P4A also...original color is forest green with black vinyl roof. Currently I'm changing the interior to black and white and will paint the exterior red with white vinyl. Just starting the interior now though...
