Hey Hellion,
Ta for the feedback - we could meet up, I am in Doncaster East, just about on the corner of Springvale, and Reynolds Rd - there's a little suburb in the left there......
Where you at, I could def take a drive...
I have reverted back to the 7" Xenarc for now, mounted at the right of my steering wheel, as it is impossible to glue/weld or do anything with the PPO/PPE plastic they use in our fascias.
I got the info directly from a person that works at the plastic eng business that manufacturers these fascias - so, if I can do the model, they will do a mould from that, and they can injection-mould a good couple of pieces from every mould - problem is the cost of such a mould might be bnetween 1-3k Aud, according to him, so I need to find a couple guys that would be willing to split the costs.
a Bit of a setback, really, but it will get done - just imagine factory/moulded "original" - just what the doctor ordered!
I will not use the center vents anymore, or I can design something and replace my FPV pod-gauges, and have nifty little vents sitting there? All ideas, some good, some bad....my plan is to replace the complete ICC with a computer-controlled HVAC system, so it will be handled by the carputer setup - hence the original reason to go core-2-duo setup.
But, feel free to PM me, and I will forward my mobile no, we can meet up - don't worry, I am not an internet predator, a few Melbournians have met me at especially the Nizpro Dynoruns
Take care.
Beanie
