Tamiya Light...bracket Thingys

[Guest Greg67]

Anyone know what those gray plastic things are called that hold the led lights in place when you screw them into the light brackets? Is there such things as spare ones you can buy?

Not sure but I think they come on the trees that have the light reflectors on them,the parts they screw into. So you`ll probably need to look at the manual and get the part number for that tree and order the tree unless theres anyone got some lying around in the trades section. Or for a more permanant fixing you could always hold them in place with a smear of black silicone sealant.It sometimes is better cos it stops any light seeping out of the back of the reflectors

Thanks! I like the idea of black sealant! The grey things are called LED Stoppers, if I am not mistaken, and i just put up a WTB thread. Cheers knotty, thanks!

those screwon horseshoes are PITA when ya gotta do all of them; useless when i gotta drill out the buckets to fit 5mm LEDs

dab of shoegoo, silicone etc all good.

One shell i even used PVA white glue too (no idea why, probably closest bottle to hand) and nothing's fallen off yet.
