Hi fellows.
Tired of searching for new coupling pieces for my faulty sunroof I had to buy myself a whole sunroof to this german guy and cross fingers everything would be fine with the mechanism. it all went good and finally got me the couplig pieces in quite good state.
So i decided to make poliurethane replicas of the pieces for myself and use those in the roof, keeping safe the originals.
Made a silicone mold ans used a commercial poliurethane mix plus 30% aluminum powder charge to increase hardness. Also put the molds in a homemade vacuum chamber for the fisrt 10 minutes to pump otu all bubbles. I'm quite happy with the result and the replicas have been moving my roof obsessively for the last 2 weeks.
So I have some spares now. You can take a look at theese videos I uploaded on youtube here:

I'll send to anyone interested for 25 euros per pair. I repeat thees are poliurethane replicas, no trick here. Please administrators let me know I'f I'm doing something not likely to be done.
