Phil, what did you use to fix the badges to the jailbars?



Hi Simon,

I used 10mm stainless steel P-clips from here:

Very good service, and arrived next day :D

Cheers,

Phil. :D

I'm pleased I decided to buy new glass, as this does make the difference :cheers:

I think I'll be having a massive OG glass sale over the winter months :wink:

Still got to try and re-do the quarter lights again........ :evil:


Any tips on putting the quarter light seals in Phil?

I used talc, and a plastic ice cream spoon from Blenhiem Palace (very important to have an ice cream when out for a walk :lol: ).

I don't have a pic, but I pushed it in by hand, and then held it in place with masking tape (wrapped around and around). Then I lifted up each side (between the masking tape), and pushed the middle section into the groove using the ice cream spoon :cheers: (see I told you it was important :roll: ).

After it was all pushed into the middle, there was a bit more pushing (to make it bed in), and then I quickly closed the quarter light to hold it all in place :lol:

It just takes patience............(and a lot of swearing, so send the kids to bed :lol: )

Phil. :D

p.s. Simon, will yours be ready for next weekend ???

Thanks Kilgore :D (sorry I missed you)

It was my first show in the new bus, and I got a really nice parking space (thanks Rikki :D ). It was a shame I didn't stick around much, and meet more members (but out little lad was a bit over tired, so we tried to find somewhere quiet at Sandown to let him get a sleep - which is not an easy task with that PA system :roll: ).

Anyway, somehow, I only managed to get a couple of snaps at the start of the day.....

It was a long day (but well worth it :D ). Driving home in the evening sun, I popped into work to get a new pic for my desktop :wink:

Sorted :D

Phil.

Hi Phill,
I see from way back in your thread that you used NOS door top frames. How did you attach your 1/4 light catch plates?
