Okay, thanks. I guess I'll stick w/ my plan for resilvering....at this rate...should have it complete by 2020. :lol:
A cop pulled me over and said, "Papers..." So I replied, "Scissors! I win!" and drove off.

I believe Darley made at least 3 types of reflectors....a bowl like the "single bulb per lens" signals had, a bowl for the "3 bulb" 4-way type signals, and a cone, with the latter two affixed to the back of the porthole by mounting tabs. The fist type, the "single bulb per lens" type, was placed into the signal body from the outside and had an interference type fit to hold it in place. The porthole was then placed over it and kept it in place.

What's with all the quotes in everyone's signatures?
