It would be nice to bring all the various ideas together, perhaps test a few against each other, and come up with a definitive answer backed up with comparative, real world tests.
I'm ahead of you there Jeff. I already have you earmarked as a guinea pig for one of my proto-types, and I have a clear crystal unit and bulb for you to evaluate as well.

I didn't realise that there were two types of rim fixing for Monsters. Mine has the single clip fitting at the bottom of the rim and the lens is clipped into the rim by wire "Lucas type" W clips.. Or a version of them.
Possibly the later type that you mention uses two metal frames to trap the lens? But in any case, I will send a ring to someone with such a lamp to try fit.

Hopefully I will be able to start on it this weekend, but I'm finding it hard to get any quality workshop time on bike things, what with everything and all that..!..
