so you know when you think your done with something , so you stare at it and wonder what else can be done? ...i did that yesterday. and actually got something done.

turns out with some minor filing , my 45* copper fittings ,fit right over the led housing. add a tube from a broken cathode light , and we got a winner.i know its been done before in different ways , but i think it works on this one

Definitely an improvement over the original. :D Like billygoat, not exactly to my tastes, but it looks good and well done.
