Re: X54 (formally known a X)- Tanked again
Rivets are a great option for this but if you want to use epoxy I suggest a product made by 3m called panel bond. you can glue almost anything together with it.

Re: X54 (formally known a X)- Tanked again
OK... So I brazed all the parts together filled the holes, blended the seams... a major step backward but it is done, and I feel like it was done right. This plus the shock debacle has been a bit of a setback.

Re: X- back in black
Good advice, I have been hunting for a cool headlight for months... I feel like this is what I was looking for. I also found these taillights in a box I had lying around... I had forgotten that I even had them!

Re: X54 (formally known a X)- Tanked again
So... I hate the tank now, the paints not working for me, I'm going to make another one and leave it sanded aluminium, was not counting on that. The painting has been a nightmare and pretty much everything that could go wrong did. I think that this thing is cursed...I'm changing the name again-now it's Hex53 (from the original name -X53)

Sweet light! I have a thing for old lights. I pick them up anytime I find a cool one.

Re: Hex53 (X/X54) Bits
Search and destroy mission for bearings, cups and races that fit correctly, the old bearings and crown race were wasted
Earlier I had braced and filled the rear tail right that had a stress crack
Found this reflector pack at ACE for $2.99
Cut to fit... like new

I was looking at that same headlight on the Bay. I love it! It reminds me of streamlined buses and trains...
