    Vented Dust Caps for LED Headlights

    Yes, the adjusters come two to a pack and maybe include two of the funnel/extension things you show as being different between the upper and lower on your car...but you only install the funnel on one of them (to retain the difference you observed). No need to weld/melt that into place. Like...

    Later-style lost motion assembly for 1991-1999 NSX engines

    I paid for that part plus expensive shipping (you used Fedex instead of EMS for initial shipping, for reasons unknown to me) but I never received an undamaged part nor a (partial or full) refund. Both times you failed to appropriately package the item, which is the reason it arrived damaged, yet...

    Later-style lost motion assembly for 1991-1999 NSX engines

    After Mita twice poorly packaged an item and it arrived damaged and refused to do anything to make things right (so I’m out hundreds of dollars) I refuse to do any more business with them. A lot of what you can get from them (OEM Honda parts) you can get cheaper from Amayama, who does a better...

    Harness Bar w/Harnesses

    No drilling. Yikes! I said 100% reversible, which drilling would not be. You just remove the bolts holding front of seat rails to the floor, put the bolt through the eyelets on ends of the belts, and reinsert the bolts. Here is a photo I took during removal, showing where they attach. (Bolt is...

    Harness Bar w/Harnesses

    This harness bar is a 100% reversible mod. The six attachment points for the bar are factory bolt locations (4 lower rear bolts that hold seat rails to the floor, 2 upper pivot points for the seat belt). The front anti-submarine straps use mounting points for front of seat rails. When installed...

    Vented Dust Caps for LED Headlights

    tturkstra I appreciate the dialog, didn't perceive any of it as confrontational (hope you did not either). Even though my lights are long-ago done (and my friend's lights are also done as of this past Saturday), as a part of the NSX community for 24 years I love to see the cars well cared for...

    Vented Dust Caps for LED Headlights

    Not sure where the "tabs without supports" comes from (I didn't suggest anything like that) so I'm not responding to that. I understand the tab failure is a layer adhesion failure, but if the layer had more surface area (because it was thicker there), it might be less likely to fail. Like I...

    One more note. The nylon washers on the screws that hold the headlight covers on, they were brittle on the NSX I worked on today (broke some). Friend working on the car with me went out and found perfect replacements at Lowe’s which we used to replace all eight.

    Vented Dust Caps for LED Headlights

    Any chance your modifications to Russ's version includes making them thicker where the tabs that engage the headlight housing are? I'm thinking a 0.5cm (tall) x 1.5cm (wide) bump, with sloped edges so printing does not require supports, on the inside - just behind those three engagement tabs. Or...

    Vented Dust Caps for LED Headlights

    Uuh, without measuring can you tell me if either of your ventless caps are the same depth as Russ's single/only ventless cap? I'm about to print some caps for a friend doing the same upgrade and figured I'd try/use your revised design. Want the same size.

    Full EV not kicking in

    Fan speed?!?! Stop trying to outsmart the climate control. Just pick the temp you want and let it do it’s thing.

    Vented Dust Caps for LED Headlights

    Assembled the headlights with new adjusters, LED bulbs, and the ventless dust caps…adjusted…and took for a drive. Wow! These LED bulbs make a huge difference, light up the road like a car built this decade instead of 30 years ago. And the headlights adjust like butter. Thanks again, Russ, for...

    Vented Dust Caps for LED Headlights

    After a 72-day wait, the adjusters are in! There are two changes, both apparent without disassembly: - The bolt has a black finish instead of galvanized (grey). - The piece of plastic that the one end of the bolt comes out of has gained a brass grommet/interface between it and the bolt...

    Vented Dust Caps for LED Headlights

    What changed? The part number changed. lol When I receive them I'll inspect/compare and report back as to any other/actual changes. I know all four of my original adjusters have the normal defect (bolt spins with the nut). That made it a real pain to adjust the headlights perfectly years ago...

    Vented Dust Caps for LED Headlights

    Material is ABS from IC3D. Printer is a Lulzbot Mini. The first couple were printed with defaults for that material in the Lulzbot version of Cura (slicing/printing application) because I generally trust defaults established by knowledgeable/experienced people. The first one eventually failed...
