Quiet!

Hi all
Seems a bit quiet on the forum at the moment? Not much doing on my car at the moment either! So was looking for inspiration to get me motivated. Filled a few holes on the rear where the bumpers mount. ian |

I was planning to have started working on mine by now, unfortunately an ominous rumbling from the rear of my 250GTO and a problem with the steering rack on my daily driver have all my attention at the moment. :mmph: I'm reduced to just buying bits I need for the Dino when I see them. I noticed in your picture your rear number plate light on the boot lid. I'm looking for one but can only find original items which cost the proverbial arm and a leg! Can you remember where you sourced yours from? Keep up the good work. Neil |

Hi Neil
The number plate light you see on my boot lid is a copy from an original I managed to borrow. Although mine doesn't have lights in it, it's more a handle to lift the boot lid. I took a mould from the original and from this made a pattern and had it cast in phosphore bronze at a local foundry. Phosphore bronze is a fantastic material to chrome plate. I did have two castings made @ £15 each and I gave one to the guy I borrowed the original one from. I didn't like the ferrari one as it was screwed on from the front.I've altered mine and it bolts on from inside the boot lid. I do have an original gasket for it and that will be used when the car get painted! ian |

You are the second person I've talked to who has made his own, maybe I should look into this casting thing :high5: Cheers Neil |
