Hello triumph friends. Pardon my silly question but I=E2=80=99m trying to fi=
gure out the best way to mount headlight rings and the aluminum headlight co=
vers on my newly acquired racecar with out cutting the fiberglass bonnet. I l=
ove the look of the spun aluminum headlight blanks from Pegasus auto, but wo=
uld like to find a way to do it that is semi permanent if you will. As I und=
erstand the blanks essentially sit inside the headlight mounting ring, which=
 bolts to the bucket, and the chrome trim ring snaps in place around it, I a=
m thinking I=E2=80=99d like to find a solution that allows the headlight rin=
g and retainer and spun aluminum cover to flush mount to my fiberglass bonne=
t with out cutting a hole for the entire headlight bucket to sit inside. Am I=
 making sense? So far my ideas are get a spare set of headlight buckets and h=
ack off the back of the bucket so it can flush mount with screw into the fib=
erglass or some good double sided 3m adhesive. My other thought was I could a=
ttempt to design and 3D print a flat plate with the necessary features for t=
he headlight rings to attach to and mount that to bonnet. Am I over thinking=
 this? Is there an easier way? Photos of what I=E2=80=99m talking about=20
