Easier to see the imperfections of the original,when placed beside a final straightened and perfect copy.
I have to say,that although I am a sucker for detail,and original parts especially,...
..the copy is so superior in every way,looks,feel,completely accurate and perfect copy,without the scuffs,dents,bends and so on(though small,they are noticeable)that I won't be using the original in the car.
It's made from the same 'type' of plastic,abs plastic I'm told originally,which reacts over time to heat and uv Ray's,but the copies are made from a newer less reactive type,and after printing go through a kind of heat tempering that really makes them a1 as copies,..and is very strong,...as strong as the original or stronger.
And "modern computer software" straight.
Copies of the original super thick metal "no smoking" sticker,I have ordered and are en'route.
I will post a pic of the finished ash tray soon but if anyone wants one,inc the sticker,let me know.
They're not exactly cheap,but they're kinda cool,and far superior to any of the originals still floating around,and all the hard work is already done.
Doing all this obviously led to a lot of thinking over what parts people would like a perfect copy of,...particularly some parts that are very hard to get.
Or indeed impossible.
