Ducati :
As you know I had not posted those pics in your other thread out of Respect as I did not want to intrude on it.
Reptar:
Great questions and I had the same ones before I embarked on this project. Ducati and I went at things a little different . In short the only adjustment you have to be carful about before sealing the headlamps is the rotation as this style projector has a horizontal axis that in most cases cannot be adjusted once you reseal the head lamps. There are mounting options to maintain this rotation adjustment , but It would require far more work and in my opinion it is not a suitable mounting method for our trucks as it will not allow you to completely reseal the headlamp. All my good pics of this project are stuck on a cell phone at the moment and I can't get to them ( long story ). Anyhow here are a few shots , one is of me adjusting the Horizontal / rotational axis before I epoxyed the projector in place. Please note I did use the same jam nut as Ducati , but I had manufactured a spacer to help ensure the projector was centered in the stock H13 opening. I tightened the jam nut , set rotation and then epoxyed in place .
Sorry guys truck is filthy. I will try and get some better shots posted up , but wont intrude further on Ducati post , even though he encouraged me to post up. I will say that this project the first time has a learning curve and you must be patient. I was without my truck for two weeks as I had not sourced replacements. I took my time and made sure things were perfect . I did not keep track of the hours it took , but they were significant. I am fricken perfectionist and felt any error would be very apparent. What added to the time on mine besides the learning curve was the painting . My patience paid off and wish the pics would show this , but they do not.
This is why I posted that Ducati is dam near giving these away as he can't be makeing shit per hour for what it takes to do this . Big kudos again Ducati.
