Welcome to Blue Peter boys n girlz

 

 

I wanted a pillar pod - all the "generic" ones look crap take a max of 3 clocks (I want 4) and they sit on the inside face of the pillar restricting vision - so I thought I could do better ...................

 

Only thought mind you not sure if this is gonna work but it turned into an episode of Blue Peter :scare:

 

First take out the OE Pillar -

Duplicate it

(here is one I prepared earlier ;) )

now it got silly trying to line the pods up in the right place at the right angle and keep them there - ended up (Mrs Keysers suggestion) using drinking straws and masking tape :doh:

little bit of fiber glass and resin to hold the first bits

then it got really silly !!!!! :scare:

Modified the straws with thin card and masking tape until I got the shape I was happy with

I like the Smell - Mrs K is not so impressed :blush:

Behind every great man there is a woman rolling her eyes....

 

Fingers crossed for the morning and it looks how you want it to :thumbs:

Will we see this in Wales this year? Would love to see this in the flesh!

 

 

Don't think I'm going to make Wales this year :(

 

:sorry:

Just a quick update on the Blue Peter Pillar Pod as I got a couple of hours in tonight :)

 

 

After leaving it over night it looked the same in the morning - no big surprise there then :lol:

Which guages are you going for Chris?

GlowShift elite 10 colour -

 

2 x AFR

1x Oil Pressure

1x Boost

 

I usually use AEM but there is a very good reason I used Glowshift this time ;)

They don't do green :shrug:

 

:lol:

 

No anyway I'm BLUE at the moment - actuallly 2 reasons -

 

1. I had the 2 AFR gauges (the most expensive ones to buy) from Mrs Keysers SC build that never happened :blush:

 

2. The GlowShift's are very short gauges making them ideal for a pillar pod :thumbs:
