Ok, I little update from my install.

 

As some of you know I had a little colour bleed through on the red sector (see my post a few pages back), Steve true to his word sent me a new set in the post a few days later.

 

So I thought I'd power up the new and old EL sheets on the bench to see if I could see what the problem was.

 

This was my problem, I little bit of bleed through of the green into the red sector.

This is the old sheet on the bench, as you can see the sectors are slightly off centre and the green is very close to the centre hole, hence the bleed through.

This is the new replacement Steve sent me... perfectly central.

So I fitted the new sheet and was 99% happy with it, however as I have the extra gauges I just wanted the heater slightly brighter to match the gauges, also my stereo is quite bright even on it's lowest night time setting.

 

To get the heater brighter I simply removed the white 'sticker' coating on the front... TBH it would have been fine before and is 100% better than the OE setup but I just thought I'd try and get it just right for my setup.

And here is the result.. no bleed through.

And a perfect match with the gauges.

Absolutely chuffed to bits with the results, can't thank Steve enough, good bit of kit well researched and put together, also he sorted out a minor problem quickly with no hassle... two thumbs good from me.

Thanks for the feedback and kind words Roger

I've identified what went wrong on yours (and one other),

I've changed the way I make them for batch 2, so we shouldn't have this problem again,

If anyone else has colour bleed can you let me know via PM and if you want I'll swap it when batch 2 is done.

cheers

Steve

I'm pretty sure I sent one out a couple of weeks ago, I noticed on the label why you're called GLOSTEROX (live in Glocester) and I made sure you got one as you were kind enough to do a deal on the panel which these are made to,

Probably got lost in the post, my fault for not sending them recorded:bonk:

Anyway, I'll send you out another one tomorrow, if you end up with two, could you send one back

Cheers

Steve

No Steve, nothing received as of yesterday.

Sorry for the delay in updating the thread,

I've ordered the materials and they should be with me in the next few days, then there's at least a week (depending on how much time family life can give me) in making the panels,

I'll update when I have a better idea when they are available,

People who express an interest on this thread are noted and are put on my list,

Please be patient as I have a young family to look after and can only work on these when I have some spare time

cheers

Steve
