Bit of a long shot but does anyone on the forum have experience with plastic molds or the making of copy parts?
I want to copy a few pieces of trim but talor them what i want whilst usingthe stock mounting. I think vacuum forming might be the way to go. Anyone able to help? |

I have made a simple home made mold and copied some rubber parts, but not plastic.

I remember seeing an item in an old car magazine about restoring vehicles of different eras, and how the restorer company was saying it sometimes had to give heart-attack-scale quotes to some people who brought in newer cars (by "newer" I mean 1980's) because of the level of plastic mouldings.
The quote that sticks was "What a man made, a man can fix or recreate...what a massive plastics factory and huge injection moulding facilities made, well, that's another story..."
