Rear lights
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2006 1:19 pm
Hi,
A subject (just) slightly more relevant than 4th gears and DAF
transmissions!
I am struggling to get some good rear lights for my +2 (which I am sure you
are aware, were also used on the later +0). This is probably because I am
not prepared to pay the inflated cost of such items.
However, it occurred to me it might be possible to have the chrome section
copied and remanufactured, using an original one as a template, ideally in
plastic this time. Chrome plating may be tricky but virtually every kids toy
has chromed plastic, so it should not be an insurmountably problem
The factory I work for actually has a pattern shop, although they are more
used to dealing with cast iron! However, they may be a useful source of
info. Has anyone else had experience of similar work, or may be interested
in getting involved?
