New production lenses for GTV

[1750GT]

Bill, I contacted them and they replied that they are no longer doing them. I've been mulling over the idea of doing these myself by using the products offered by Alumilite....

....however if we can get the lens made using a thermoplastic instead of a resin, I believe that this would be much a better way to go (as well as being less time consuming in the end). We could buy just the lens and use Osso's technique to restore our originals.

I've been checking on the gasket issue and today I made some experiments with EPDM white rubber profile that I was able to source out. It seals good and looks right. I want to check out a silicone rubber cord which should be even better as EPDM extruded rubber is a somewhat porous material.

Here is the result so far:



We're getting closer to a very good finished product.
Screws are also on the way.

OK, the lenses are finally complete with the correct rectangular profile white gasket. It is a very resilliant silicone rubber, and all lenses will be sold with the gaskets installed.
