Thread: tanks projector build

alright I'm in to process of doing a retro fit. I'm using moriomto minis. my first question is how much do i grind back to fit the projector? I've been trying to find a picture of a previous build but i can't

Exactly what I was looking for thank you

just cut the hole... is there a way i can get a bigger silicone washer so i wouldn't have to use the jb weld to aim it ? the one they gave us in the packet isn't near big enough

i need a picture of the back of a completed one... I'm a bit confused

Another build with pics

OK after doing more research I got a couple questions...
1. When I put the rubber butle in do I do it from the reflector bowl side or do I do it from the back side?
I just use the rubber butle to make it easier to aim? And then when I'm happy I slop on the jb weild?
2. In the link he used plasti dip but people on here told me not to use it...

I've been doing research on this forever I just want to make sure I'm getting everything strained out before retrofit day

Rubber butyl on the reflector side that way it can hold the projector in place while you align them . Then JB weld on the backside when your happy with the placements.


Plasti dip for what? You don't need that crap use something that's meant for high temperature like engine enamel. Do it right the first time or chance it and use plasti dip and then hate yourself when it starts to peel and then you have to open the lights up again.

Alright so rubber on the front and jb on the back... Got it. And Alright I will pick up some black high temp paint... I definitely don't want to be cheap with this. I'm gunna do the high beams black also.

And about throwing the headlight back in the oven after your done to re-seal kinda makes me nervous... I mean I'm gunna spend a lot of time aiming but I don't want them to move in the oven when I get all rubber warm

That's why u aim and JB weld them first before you throw them back in the over to deal the lens. Or you can use a heatgun.

Oh so the jb weld stays strong in heat?

Oh god I didn't know there were different kinds of jb... I gotta look to double check what kind I got

Yea there's a few different kind. Hell you could use JB weld or JB quit or even use JB putty instead of the butyl to line them up. There's really no wrong way of doing it. I like using the butyl to aim because it doesn't get hard like JB weld and is easy to remove. JB putty well it'll only gives you like a 5 min gap to get if set and aimed which isn't that long.

Another question... Please don't think of me as a dumb ass... But do you pull the rubber butle off after the jb sets? It just poped into my head

And I just checked and I got jb plastic weld... Will that work?

Nope leave it on there. No point in removing it plus if you apply it from the reflector end it's going to be damn impossible to remove it when the projector is in place. Don't go overboard with it you don't want it to be visible when the projector and shroud is on.. Now on the backside of the reflector.. Go crazy. I wouldn't use plastic weld stick to the other JB products

OK sound good... And damn the one jb product I get is the wrong one what one should I get

Plain old JB weld. Or JB quik or JB putty any of those will work obviously the standard JB weld is probably the strongest of the bunch but doesn't matter as long as whatever you get you apply enough.

OK sounds great... thank you for your great help like always
