Do not ultrasonic the headlight rubber spacers

When rebuilding headlights do not put the rubber spacers found on the headlight bowls into an ultrasonic cleaner.
They turn the cleaning liquid black very quickly and you end up tipping it down the drain.
I might make some new ones out of fat fuel line.

The little rubber plastic caps that fit over the brass threads for the headlight adjuster screws can be put in the cleaner to loosen up the crud that builds up on them.

Oh yes and caused by having all these wonderful tools at our disposal and then forgetting that they are designed for a purpose. Which in this case is not putting 50 plus year old rubber into an ultrasonic cleaner
