I can shoot ideas all day. Not my money

Got the harness bar installed, the shoulder harnesses attached and the clamps that hold the harnesses in place on.

Finally on the home straight with this lid! Doc came up with the idea of a 'fuel cell' for the compressors to live in and it was always going to have a lid.

I was able to lift the front edge of alcantara inside the box and sink 3 screws in, then stuck the alcantara back down. A rare earth magnet was then sunk into the lid and that holds it shut (just!).

Looks like a spaceship in the back Amazing work mate.

So hold on. you have to do it by hand. You don’t press a button and the LEDS turn on and dry ice comes out as the lid lifts.


Only playing,

Now that’s a cracking idea........

Just because there's not enough carbon on this I've been working on a number plate plinth. Idea is to use static number plates front and rear that I got from - Static Show Plates (I've already been using one on the front and its great. Its reflective and can be legal size/font. Even though its technically not road legal I reckon I'll get away with it as at least I'm running something that looks legal to the police) and then when I peel off the rear one there will be this carbon plate with a R360 logo on it - obviously underneath the plate isn't very attractive with an indent and 2 screw holes so can't have no plate for shows and photos.

Made a plate using 2 pieces of carbon glued together and cut to size and then glued on a piece of black plastic behind it so I can countersink the screw holes and give it a slightly floating look.

This is mocked up with some wood screws to check alignment

Plate now has logo. Not oerfect but will do for now!

Think I fancy 1 of these. Without the R360.

Sure I can sort something out for you! I need to fine tune the process slightly. I need to order a better sheet of carbon to start with.

Ok. When you done it. Let me know. Put 1 on the back. Think it’s a good idea. As I already have static plate on the front. Or would it look stupid putting just 1 bit of carbon on my van. ‍♂️ maybe.

It’s a slippery slope! And carbon looks great against white..........

But I like having the ability to peel off the static plate and there’s something there already. Makes shows and meets or even just photos easier.

Yeah that’s why I quite liked the idea of it. I couldn’t afford to carbon mate that’s for sure. I could probably get a carbon bumper cover. You could be the first to event a good rear splitter for the caddy 4. Can’t find anything.

I’m hoping to head in that direction. I’ve got a part that I plan on making for mine and the techniques would lend themselves to things like that. Always about time and I could spend months working on stuff that doesn’t quite work as I have in the past but hoping to use some more up to date methods to speed things up. Watch this space!

Well I would like something for my rear keep me updated, but the numbers plate I would be interested in.
