I'm not going to paint the part the lenses are going to bond to.. Anyone got a link to some activator that is suitable. I was going to clean up with some acetone free solvent cleaner mate uses on PVCu Windows.

Amazon link Since it's plastic you'll be using it on I'd test it in a small spot first to see how it reacts, but it should be fine.

[Wreelybro]

Already tested it's fine..

Yes butyl tape. I researched all options before fitting my replacement lens and this is by far the best option. Offers a bit of flex, it's thick so will ensure a good seal and it's mess free and easy to apply.

Yup, thats the stuff. But put your light into the clam then put the lense on it.

[Wreelybro]

Yeah was thinking that. Mine don't fit that well anyway!!

[chris_uk]

there is loads of the stuff on ebay

Thanks, that's why I left when I did. I also realised that I had a dark visor on my helmet which wasn't much good when the sun went down
