DIY Headlamp converters for Europe

[jleyton]

Does anyone have a diagram of the shape, and positioning, of the tape you need to put on Stag headlamps to mask the beam for driving on the wrong side of the road ?

I'm sure Halfords will sell me a couple of bits of black tape for a tenner but, way back, we always used to make them for ourselves from insulating tape and I'd like to do that again.

I've done a search on here but couldn't see anything so all thoughts or help gratefully received.

Cheers

Julian,

I remember something on this in a very recent Stag mag, will try and find the article.

Nice to be able to help someone else for a change, let me know if you dont have a copy, I'll scan it and email you.

Cheers

That's great - thanks a lot Bernard. I'm sure I've got my copy somewhere.

However, I knew my memory was bad - I just didn't think it was that bad

Hi Graham,

Nowhere too exotic.

I used to work with motoring journalists and a group of them (from an organisation grandly known as the Guild of Motoring Writers) do a short trip to mainland Europe every year - usually France. They've invited me along and this year the trip is going to Belgium and we're staying at a hotel that, apparently, specialises in Classic cars

The owner has got a couple of Triumphs http://www.classic-car-hotel.be/inde...page.0&lang=en

If you're off to the continent, you might like to pop in to this place which our secretary discovered. (PS. Don't you wish your secretary was hot like mine!!)
