Instrument bulb holders
Just started doing a few bits and bobs and notices that some of the instrument bulb holders are missing or on there last legs. Old style 300tdi instruments.
So I've made a few in resin and fast cast plastic in black to hopefully produce more light. I'm going to be running them on led but see no reason why they won't stand up to filiment bulbs. They are crude but do work and are threaded.

Just wondering while I've got access to the materials does anyone want any, cost would only be second class postage and a few pence for envelope. I only make a couple a day so cant do massive orders.
Admin any problems with this please let me know.

One of mine is broken and the bulb is dangling about behind the dash, making it look like loads of the warning lights in the strip are on(!) but I couldn't see how to re attach it well.

I think I tried hit glue which evidently wasn't a great idea (I still think it wont have gotten hot enough to melt)

Anyway, how are you planning on attaching yours?

I should probably put my name on the list for beta testing also!

Thank you.

I still have the green diffuser inside the instruments so will just screw them on.
If they were not there I'd just use pu adhesive or super glue them.
