Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Would you believe 2 days in the making/fitting of the mounting blocks. Right now they are test mounted-- need to skin the baffle and wire before final mount. This is just the mounting block that I made on the passenger side.

With the light loosely fixed and surround in place they look like this.

I'm really getting excited about the way NAPSACK is turning out!

Philip...nice way of taking care of a little detail! Those are the little things that add up to a nice trailer. Doug

Yep those adapters turned out real nice. Takes a lot of time to make em huh? How much would you sell them for?

Mike...

...as is oft said...the devil is in the details...and that is one devil of a detail...very nicely done .............

Like Mike said, How Much?????
That looks like some great work.

Nice work! You must have the patience of a saint.
What type of light is that you're using, LED?

Ditto! Or could you post a picture of how you made them? REally nice detail.

i really like the way those turned out. i might do something similar to mine that way i can put the plate higher up and out of the way of the lift handle.


great pic!

Very nice work. I too had to make an adapter for my "teardrop tailight"

Not sure I'd want to sell them...but you're right they did take some patience. Those are LED lights as someone spotted. I think they're going to look good when lit up.
As to how then try this -- se if you can understand:


After construction it was several coats of paint -- primer first then the top coat. The white rubber is designed for doors but it worked.

After glueing the piece together the trick then is to cut the curve at either end of the light. To do thisI placed a piece of scrap wood under the to crosspiece so that it sat level on the bandsaw table. You can temporarily fix it to the block with duct tape to make it easier.

I love those lights....... I was thinking of making fins .... like on an old Cadillac. I thought it would look so cool sticking out from the curve of the hatch. But I was concerned about holding them on securely. I'm still haven't decided but there's still time.
