Assemlby of the Cateye Spacer
Introduction: On this page I will show you how to assemble the Cateye spacer (aapter plate), and how to pre-fix the position of the spacer. When the mount is fixed solid to the lamp, the final forming is much easier to do. Before baking the lamp, verify that the mount is perpendicular to the axis of the lamp and that the spacer is not rotated to the center line of the lamp.
If the bike computer is on the right side of the handle bar then it would be best to have the power connector on the right hand side. |
