They are indeed made from the best polycarbonate money can buy, genuine 0.75mm Lexan, and they even come with a protective film .....
The fit looks top notch too Brian |

Nice - so did Brian get a batch made so he could sell on the spares?

i have some spare covers available that i would sell to recoup some of my outlay for materials and the vacforming,and i could ask mrspeedy to get some more done if there was enough interest.

I thought you were making some made to sell, not just a one off! I'm definitely up for a couple if you're selling!

i am more worried about how to package them for posting,(as my postman will try and force anything through a letter box). any suggestions?.
also what would be a reasonable asking price for them (as the vacforming cost £3-50 each)+the mold + post). i did this because i needed some covers and not to make a profit from producing them.i had 20 made and have 16 that i would be prepared to sell on.what do you think?. brian |

Hi Brian
Good question about the postman, mine is the same, i guess bubble wrap & lot's of Fragile sign's on it, do not bend etc, maybe a pencil in the belt tray would stop it bending or make it more rigid As for the price i guess that's up to you really, as you put in all the effort, i have no problem parting with £10 + P&P as this is the only part stopping me running my cat Btw i forgot to say they look great, fab job Brian Gainsy |

i was thinking that £7-50 inc post would be expensive for a cover,never mind £10 + post, good idea to put something in the centre to re-enforce it during posting though, i`ll sort something out. would like someone else to fit one to their car to see what they think about them.

Hi Brian, you could wrap them in corrugated card or use postal tubes like these (I'm not sure if these are right size)

Well you need to cover the cost of your time and effort - I don't know how much time went in to making the blank but I'm guessing it wasn't knocked up in an afternoon. If you think you can at least break even at £7.50+P&P then great for us, but I'd be happy even at £10+P&P, especially if they're securely packaged in a tube like the ones Luke just posted
I'll definitely be up for a couple - possibly more, but I wouldn't want to hog them if there are a long list of interested buyers. |

i`ve sent one to gainsy to fit to his cat and he will give his veiws on it once it`s delivered (possibly tues).
once i know someone else is happy with the cover, i`ll sell the others i have for £8 each including post which should cover the cost of the brass to make the mold etc. |
