TCS Steering Column Shroud

Have you had a look at plastic pots in a garden supply? material would be thicker, and you could form with a heat gun. (just a thought)

I covered the bottle with silver foil tape, then clingfilm.

I have started the layers of fibreglass. It is not an easy shape to build.

To get the bottle to stand upside down, I core drilled a hole in a short piece of 7" x 2" I had lying around, so the bottle stays exactly still upside down.

I am waiting for the bottom to set before starting on the sides very soon.

Messy business.

It seems to have worked.

The clingfilm stuck a bit to the fibreglass, but a few minutes with a battery drill and a round wire brush cleaned up the inside and outside very well.

I have since glued 5mm foam to the outside and will be covering with black leathercloth next weekend.

That came out pretty good! Please post the finished product.

I’m impressed! Nice custom work!

Sorry to bring us back to old posts but I'm looking at SQB190s (windshield wiper/washer) and they are all upside down for us in the colonies (or they are for the left hand side of the steering column). Is there a way to adapt them for use on the right side of the steering column?
