Mk4Gaz Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Well this evening I'm dead chuffed, the first successful mould I've made has produced a perfect copy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2soops Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 What's the ketchup used for, releasing agent? Looking great by the way, can't wait to see a finished one covered. Any plans to do a 3 gauge version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 I fired the sewing machine up last night, trying to make a pattern. Think I've got it sussed, although I'm no seamstress lol! I was going to do a 3 gauge one originally, but as the dash is quite long, I felt a 4 gauge pod would utilise the space better. Could always mount 3 gauges, and perhaps a boost controller or engine start button or anything else I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Or even mount a phone holder to it lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Had another play after work today, with the sewing machine! I'm certainly not about to give my day job up and become a vehicle trimmer lol! Overall I'm fairly happy with it, it's not perfect, and I'm not sure how long the spray glue will last, but it doesn't look too bad. Just need to decide on gauge size now. 60mm would look best, but it would mean replacing all my current 52mm gauges. I'll have to think on it. Going to wait a while to see if the leatherette lifts at all, before I commit to fitting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_cbr Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 that looks grate and my gauges are 60mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 how long till you start taking orders ? Not sure buddy, I've done all I can, and sent out pms regarding hobbyist membership, but the powers that be seem reluctant to grant it to me! I want to work on my trimming skills a bit more, before I commit to agreeing anything, as I'd hate people to be unhappy with anything I produce.

Mk4Gaz Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Finally got this finished today. I wasn't happy with the leatherette on the first one, so I made another, and trimmed it again but used 3mm foam behind it. Looks much neater Fitted today, with double sided tape. It seems to be stuck quite well, but I may put a small fixing in the top, that could easily be repaired if I ever removed it. Excuse the mish mash of gauges, I need to get matching ones! And give the car a damn good clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muzzytt Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thank you guys, I'm moulding it now, so will see how it comes out. But, I also want to do things properly, so I'm hoping my hobbyist membership gets granted, and if it does, I'll get some lists together and keep myself busy for a while lol! let me know if you make and are willing to sell to me !
