Subject:Suscesful instalation of E-4 replacement

Fellows and Fellaws:
This is a report on E-4 lights replacements installation.
As I promised in a previous posting, I got four o-rings (3.5 inches diameter
and one fourth inch gauge) from a tire shop supplier (Rema, Inc; they sell
patches, rubber cement, etc.).  I cut and open them.  Put a string of
plastic glue on the rim of the E-4 and glued the pieces into them.  They
left a small area uncovered, about half an inch each side, I left this to
the top and to the bottom, (12 and 6 o'clock).  The retaining ring fit
snuggly and holds the light firmly. I'm impressed with my abilities.

I have not tried out the lights since my wife didn't want to go out tonight
under the rain and winds of 35 to 50 mph.  I do know they are brighter since
the photocell in the wall in front of were I park the Westfalia, turn off
the patio lights, this had never occurred with the original lights, they
just flickered.

A partial thanks to Ron for an excellent product.  Complete thanks when I
tried them out in a real trip to my favorite beach campsite, there's no
artificial light about three miles around.
