20mm Light Buckets
 
I'm looking for some light buckets that will fit in the 20mm sockets of a The Scale Shop TJ grill. I'm finding it pretty difficult to locate measurements on most of the light bucket offerings out there and am hoping some one here might know of a good option. The pair will be used for this build. Thanks.

you could go to home depot and get some 1/2 and /or 5/8 copper flare caps then drill a hole and use a small bolt and nut and chuck it up in a drill and sand it round down to the size you need then drill the size you need for your lights then you can silver solder them on "thumbsup" I made some that way and the 1/2 is close to the size you are looking for here are some pics to help:)

:shock:

Jeremy, that is a stellar idea. Thank you for the fantastic recommendation. "thumbsup"

I was told the Axial SCX-10 light buckets fit right in there. Just need to shoe goo them from the back to secure them. "thumbsup"

I'm planning on having a few different styles of grills made, and they will be specifically cut to fit the Axial buckets, since they are so readily available.

Sometimes those small flashlights have nice reflectors and lenses.

Have you checked the reflector's out of a AAA or AA Maglight?

Is the inside diamtere 20mm? I have steel light buckets that are just shy of 20 on the outside,the lens is not included.If you can make them work let me know,they are real cheap.
