Im not sure yet. Moulding them is easy but its the triming that takes ages. Its hard to.trim them to get a perfect fit. If you are willing to trim/cut them out and paint yourself I will mould heaps and sell them for say $40 each plus postage.

And if that's the case and I make a lot more, I will need some time because I would want to make a new mould from steel.

I plan on mounting the gauges with there U clamp and then using a piece of thin steel flat bar bolted to the clamps and bent into position. I will take heaps of pics when i install mine.

Here is the first one finished and fitted. It turned out ok but not entirly happy with the position. They need to be lower and the curve isnt perfect. but i think its ok given its a home job and first attempt at plastic moulding.

I will make another mould from steel in a few weeks, and get it perfect.

Looks good. Agreed ideally you would have them sit more vertical. I am very interested in the final product once you get it right. And as Dale said i m ok with doing the trim work and painting.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
