Hello,
I promised to keep You all informed on the progress of the light units that I'm working on. Hereby You receive the first information.
After a vew weeks of experiment an investments I have been able to create 2 moulds for both the side markers at the rear, as well as the small blinkers on the side.
The first tests with pouring looked promissing although I encountered some piling up of air in the plastic products. With the help of a vacuummachine and thinner plastic these enclosures can be limited.
I have been promised by the suplier of the plastic that the material will not fade, and is temperature resistant up to 80 degrees C. Therefore the costs for the materials end up pretty high. I expect to keep the original prices though.
Next week I will do the first tests with the final plastic and hopefully create the samples on wich You can deside wether to buy them or to leave them. I will also take pictures of complete finished units and pictures of them when put on the car. For those interested I will also post pictures of the moulds.
Further I will continue with the other two moulds for the front units. These will be much more complicated and will therefor take more time. But, I will definitely try to make these, don't worry :-).
Next update (with pictures) will probably be sent the end of next week.
With regards,
Wiljen Veldhuis
