Mark G Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Does anyone know how to put the little spring clips into the cowl light bezel that holds the lens in its a PIA to get these in please any tips or tricks working on a W model 1946 vintage bought a complete set from DCM nice set by the way compliments to DCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Are those listed for W series? They don't look right to me. The ones I have use 2 hooks to attach to the reflector/lense and then the screw at the back pulls it all tight to the bucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark G Posted November 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 That’s what came in the kit from DCM the only two I have to compare have a bend on the long end I’ll get a pic out asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Roberts Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Yes , those are the right clips to hold the lens in place . I don't have a picture but they do work fine . They only hold the lens in the bezel and the bracket that Ed mentioned holds the bezel assembly to the body of the light .

Young Ed Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Interesting I've taken quite a few of these buckets apart and never seen one with a clip. Maybe they were all dust before I got to them? I took apart one I have on the shelf that is a very nice original and no clips like that.

If you send me a set I'll figure it out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solga Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 I know that I am late to the party on this one, but this weekend I will get pictures of how I installed mine. I bought the same clips from DCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Jerry Roberts Posted November 20, 2022 Solution Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 I have installed a bunch of them and each time I wonder how they can possibly fit . Turn the bezel upside down with the lens in place .That small loop in the centre of the spring clip goes under the lip in the bezel ( the side that is now facing you ) . The two long ends of the spring clip rest against the lens . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark G Posted December 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Thank you to all that repliedIMG_0722.HEIC got them on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solga Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 My apologies. When Jerry's reply was marked as a solution, I took that as the job was completed, and my pictures were no longer needed. Had I known you were still waiting, I would have provided them.
