Back box light shroud
« on: April 16, 2013, 09:04:44 PM »
Hi Guys,

Sorry I don't know exactly what these are called but when I remove the backglass on my Flash Gordon there's a few white PVC shrouds around some of the lights. I imagine other games have these too so my question is what have others used to replace broken ones. I guess I could fold up some colour bond but I'm open to ideas.

These are the ones I'm talking about. You can see one small one and a broken one which should measure about 85mm x 35mm

Try aerosol can caps. You need the smaller ones like from a deodorant can. Cut a small circle in the centre of the cap where the light goes.

Thanks for the suggestions guys but I think it really needs to be something with an external flange so that it can be fixed to the board, that's why I thought of folding some colourbond up. I thought someone else may have had another tried and proven method though.
