Tricky-Ricky Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Got put off by the pricing and the prospect of not a good fit, or that most are made to take 60mm gauges, so i bought a cheap Ebay pod expecting it not to fit, and i wasn't disappointed! so i thought i would try cutting the pods of and fiberglassing them to my A pillar! I then found that the A pillar plastic is not of the type that resin will stick to! so i decided to use the pillar to lay some fibreglass over and then mould the pods on, so creating a double A pillar pod that is a good fit and can be attached with glue or self tappers. The colour is not final as i need some more matt paint, so hopefully i should be able to match the pillar! http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid204/pfe86825725948e309e837c09fdd2e179/ef58d769.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid204/p5a462dc931c8d012e0b4bd4584cd468a/ef58d712.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Pete, have you fitted yours yet ? It's a very good texture match, and there are no gaps so the fit is good, just no means to attach the bloody thing I tried using the thick double sided stick tape (Numberplate stuff) and heavy duty Velcro tape but it keeps coming off. would appreciate anyones suggestions for fitting. (Ricky, sorry for the hijack - You'll have none of these problems having the original clips to attach yours ) Edit: to say Gaz suggested self tapping screws or a bolt betwen the two pods, but I'd prefer to keep the un-marred surface if I can.

Terminator Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Fiberglass two small bolts inside the back of each pod add nuts at the rear of the pillar cover. Invisible fixing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
