Title: wire diameter to make retaining ring for round taillight
Post by: Scooter4 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

Thank you for the picture and measurements.
