Larry, he accepted my offer ($40) and will ship Monday (doubtful as it is a holiday) so I now will have three aimers and all the attachments.

Good to hear. Glad I could be of use.

My aimers came in today. Everything is there, but there's a couple of broken pieces that thanfully I didn't need for my application (I've JB-welded them back together). Even had an obscure set of adapters for super-slanted Saturn housings (which is good, my buddy is a 3rd Gen Saturn fanboy who apparently needs his headlights aimed on his two Saturns).

Anyway, the only issues I had was dirty mirrors (which I will clean later- may have to disasseble the units) and poor suction (Had one aimer fall off- wetting the cup with a hose helped). Per the aimers, my headlights were too low and both too far to the right.

Not too shabby? No JW speaker, but also about half the cost!

Good job, Larry!

Larry, I received mine 20 Jan. I tried sending you a message through the site, but don't think it went through. I have an extra case due to now having 3 aimers. Unfortunately, part of the "universal" adapters were bad in the new set. The ones I would use on Darth (black set) are missing one support and one more was broken. (Darth has a 1990 front clip that came with the EFI engine and E4OD). My konvertible has the 4 small rectangular lights so I have those.

My original set has Marquette on the case, but the units are Hoppy. It was given to me by the owner of a Sunoco station that was to be torn down with a couple of other places for a strip mall on US 17 in Suffolk VA.

On the "universal" adapters, do you have the articulating suction cups and extensions? If not, I have two complete sets and extra extensions.

On cleaning the mirrors, easiest way I found, is this:

(1) remover the end that the suction cup is in (3 screws) then pull the end and suction cup out.

(2) remove the 6 screws from the bottom cover then lift it off the pegs and remove it and vacuum piston.

(3) one mirror (rear) won't come out, dual fixed set has 1 screw, moveable mirror has 1 screw and a spring. They can be removed or cleaned in place.

Larry, I know this is late, but, I was able to locate a set of both large and small adapters still in the package to complete my set.

I still have the extra parts and carrying case that I can send you for the shipping cost if you are still interested.
