SpitfireGeorge Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Hi Guys, I am currently connecting the wiring loom to the dash instruments on my Mk3 Spitfire. Does the metal shade which holds the green lens, has to be screwed in, need to be glued to the back of the dash? I get the feeling if I pull the bulb unit out whilst it has the green lens in will break the lens. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Mine wasn't (and still isn't) glued. The lens is a bit delicate so try to be gentle with the bulb unit. I don't see why you couldn't glue the tube if you're worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpitfireGeorge Posted September 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Thanks. Will not bother then, I never took it out when I ran the car so hopefully I won't have to after the re-wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimp my Vit Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Pulled mine out and replaced the bulb with a LED so I can now see it in sunlight...Not glued!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the correct way to do it but it's worked (off and on....sorry) for over 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
