BRIDGE BASE/BC DECK MODIFICATION
In addition to raising the bridge, you must also sand or file down the ridge on the
upper saucer bridge foot area and remove material as marked below to allow light to
come up into the bridge unit to light the windows. The bridge unit itself must also be
moved forward a few millimeters to sit in the accurate position and allow the proper
angle for the forward spotlight.
Black lines are the ridges that must be filed or sanded down. BE CAREFUL not to remove or damage the other raised detail
in this area!!! You can use masking tape to help somewhat. Area in center marked with an X should also be carefully removed with a
rotary tool sanding or grinding bit. DO NOT GO PAST PRE-DRILLED HOLE AREAS!!!
LOWER SAUCER AREA
PLANETARY SENSOR ARRAY
The planetary sensor array presents a few challenges to modify for lighting and
offers several options to do so. One such option is shown below. Also, you may wish to
drill a hole for a 5mm LED in the center which can offer some ambient light into the
planetary sensor array. (optional)
Carefully remove HALF of each pin as shown to allow for lights/wires to pass through for planetary sensor spotlights
