Funkster 0 Posted November 6, 2014 And installed in the door! They appear to work fine. Given the density of SLS parts they are a little less stiff and probably won't last as long as the original parts, but since I've just had the first one fail after 20 years I suspect these will hold up OK. The print has come out a little under-size in all dimensions compared to the CAD model, but I'm wary of increasing the size of the model to compensate 'cos there's no guarantee that another print run might not come out with the tolerances in the other direction. In summary: first batch appears to be a success, no guarantees for longevity, will sell parts on at cost. They ended up costing me £2.40 per caster so that's what you pay. Will work out P&P costs this afternoon. I'm not charging for my time (let's consider it an offering to the universal spirit of classic car ownership), but of course if people are feeling flush and want to add, say, the price of a pint of beer to their payment then that would be greatly appreciated! Will send out PMs to those first in line for this batch once total costs are figured out. All the best, -- Olly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funkster 0 Posted November 6, 2014 Going to cheekily use the works post person to send these out, they're going to get me prices tomorrow so bear with me. Gives me a chance to wind the window down and up a few times while driving home from work so will have the extra confidence of more testing ;o) Cheers, -- Olly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many thanks Si Hello Olly, I've just paid via PayPal family & friends payment, plus I've left a note of my forum user name and postage address. PS, I've also sent you a PM of the above. Thanks again Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Funkster 0 Posted November 13, 2014 Thanks all. Everyone else, I'll PM you payment details as soon as the parts arrive, then get on with packing them up for post. It'll take me a couple of lunch breaks to get them all wrapped up so by the time people have got their PMs they should be about ready to go out.

Funkster 0 Posted November 19, 2014 Hi again all, Second batch has just arrived on my desk, PMs going out shortly... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Funkster 0 Posted November 19, 2014 PMs all sent to those who have asked for parts, please read carefully. Also just as an FYI, I'm away on Friday and most of next week so if you're in a hurry for your parts, pay today! Cheers, -- Olly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Funkster 0 Posted November 19, 2014 Quick heads-up, this batch has come from the printers with a lot more dust stuck to the parts. I'll knock the worst off before sending them out but don't really have the facilities to clean them up properly at work. It would probably be worth going over them with a toothbrush before installing so that the dust doesn't fall out later and stick in the runners. Also as an aid to installation I put some graphite (i.e. pencil rubbing) on the lip where it pushes onto the metal bit of the regulator. Don't be tempted to use oil, it will weaken the plastic and make it swell up. Cheers, -- Olly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
