I've got another template. I will take some pictures tomorrow after work. I think that may look better (Not that this one looks bad or anything

)

HAhahahahha. I was going to send it to this aluminium man near me to get it cut then wrapping it in CF. Cheaper that way.

How much does it work out at?

mercutio · Post by **mercutio** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 7:41 pm

that would depend bri did the 4g ones in anodised ali for about £40

£40

So if I could do them for £45 posted would that generate a bit more interest?

possibly but cf is sexy and you cant run at a loss

version 1 had 4 layers of fibre in.

After seeing it installed this can be trimmed to 3 layers which brings the cost down by a 1/4. If I get a little creative with moulding them can do it for this price without running a loss.

I'd rather sell a few for a smaller mark up than one or two with a bigger mark up. But equally the spark plug covers go for £60 and there's a lot less fibre in them.

^cheers nitin. I'll be interested to see another take on it.

thats perfect alex. just right. how are the variable measurements looking? it looks well within safe margin for every car. do the end bolts bite to the thread? they didnt on my final template but that was a bit thicker i imagine. the two final clips will hold it upto the edge of the rad nicely.

Iv found 5 new push clips. should be some more about

sat will be better if thats good? ill not be in the lude as she's at PAW but ill be there none the less.
