Just out of interest, but did you paint your tail lights with a thin coat/layer of black paint? They look realy dark in a few of the pics.

yeah, that was the first thing i poked fun at when dale showed me, he just couldnt be f uked doing the halve moons but as long as they hold/dont leak thats what matters. he could always get a flat grinder or even a file to clean them up before he paints them Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

As I said you're not welding up something structural so simple vertical down would be a lot neater and have less penetration. It only has to seal really. Your tacks will hold the piping together.
