OK, guys. Here we go again. I just bought the AUTO ATLANTA 'Euro Turn Signal conversion assembly', which is a set of two bulb holders made from stock aluminum sheeting and bent to (supposedly) conform to the lower section of the US type turn signal assembly housing. After quite a bit of trying to make them fit, I finally gave up and am turning to the forum (once again) to find out exactly what's going with this supposedly "...easy conversion set that has satisfied thousands of Auto Atlanta purchasers"...?
It's pretty clear that however they are supposed to 'easily fit' the turn signal housings, they absolutely do not. Any help with this annoying matter would be most appreciated. Frankly, I'm starting to get a teensy bit irritated with some of the items I've gotten from AUTO ATLANTA (including a pricey replica 914GT double grill engine cover that was rather hastily and sloppily put together), recently. Nuff sed, but any insights on this would be helpful... |

Those euro turn signal kits have been available for years and never heard of any issues with them. maybe post some photos showing what issues you are having
Also i too have purchased a GT engine lid from a different supplier and was equally disappointed. Then i realized that the replica engine lids are not up to the standards that we are building street cars to today they were hastily thrown together race car parts. Just a bit of perspective. Good luck |

Good luck I may do just that, YellowPorky, but right now I can't take the time to carry that task through. Perhaps when I have a moment to do so, I'll take some images and post them here, as you suggest. Since the interior of the turn signal housings are of a highly polished sheen, glare is a problem when taking snap-shots of these housings (evidence most images of them used even by retail sellers of them, which are usually tough to discern details on, for this reason). Thanks for the suggestion. |
