Must be good condition to replace the ones fitted.

Did anything come of the talk about making them over on V3M?

Still looking for a set.

Kinda. Mollusk was kind enough to give me an old cap to look into the moulding off, but the hobbyist injection moulding machine available to me would struggle to do it.

I'm looking into a plastic I can cast for them, I have a couple of ideas in mind but need to find a mould material that is pourable yet will stand the melting point of the cast plastic.

Don't stop looking for a set ;)

I certainly will keep looking, but put me down for a set though once they are done please :) and good luck with it.
