330 viewsAnother view of the completed assembly. Notice that the bulb is on the inside of the rubber boot and that the bulb is still in the container. You don't want to expose the bulb until you absolutely have to, it must stay clean! You can use rubbing alcohol to wipe the bulb down if it gets dirty or you touch it -- oil from your skin is bad for the bulb!

Through the hard cover330 viewsJust an FYI: I do NOT recommend this method! PITA if you have any issues. Go through the rubber cover.
Make a template that is 7/8" in diameter and trace with a permanent marker. Or put a nail or screw into the center of the circle and tap it so it leaves a dimple -- that's where you will drill. I used this location because it gave me the most slack in the wiring. The shop that does this recommended not putting the gasket in the center of the hard cover because there wouldn't be enough wiring slack.

Making the rebar "staples"328 viewsLooking at the site, I decided to put rebar on the outside of the wood perimeter. To give it a custom, finishing touch, I decided to weld the two pins together and thus give it a stapled look. So I fired up the air compressor and dragged out my MIG welder (both Craftsman from Sears...very nice!). After rebar is nailed into the earth and flush with the top of the lumber, cut top portion of rebar to length. I kept the length short so the top piece only covered half of the top of the pin. This gave an "L" profile, allowing plenty of space for placing a good welding bead. Wire-wheel the ends clean and a spot for the MIG welding clamp to make good electrical contact.

Sebring convertible328 viewsWe originally had a Jeep. That lasted only a couple hours and we called in for a replacement vehicle. A Jeep is NOT a driver's car: Poor pedal placement, bouncy, wanders, uneven acceleration. The height was nice. The Sebring was better but it's definitely not a car I would own nor recommend. Even Antonette called it gutless!
