wire diameter to make retaining ring for round taillight
« on: May 10, 2024, 04:55:55 PM »
Good evening,
Will someone please measure the wire diameter to make retaining ring for round taillight?  I made one and used too small of diameter and lens can still shake out so I thought I would ask before I make another one.
Thank you,
Scooter

Measures .092"    So right at 3/32".      Laying free the diameter is about 3 5/8" with 3/4" between the tails.

Also has the extra little bend to stick a pick into so you can get it out of the groove easier.

I figured it needed to be thicker. Mine is .06".  I will make a new one.
Thank you for the picture and measurements.
