Saloon spoiler clips
So the final prototype arrived today for the saloon 850T5R spoiler clips which I believe also fit other models. They are required to be 3d printed out of metal which granted is expensive. Is this of interest to anybody?

Fair play to you, Gaztech! They are a simple thing to look at, or overlook, but quite complex to design and manufacture I imagine. I was considering 304 stainless or aluminum replacements but where do you even start with all the bends etc.
Put me down for a pair as, although not yet needed, I will require these at some point in the not too distant future. Do you have a 5 door/estate version too?

You sir are quite correct, it was 10hours on CAD to get right. I tried my best to get them to work out of 3d printed plastic with extra reinforcement but it just won't work as a long term solution. I'm waiting on some quotes from China for producing them out of aluminium. I have used the company before and their quality of work is excellent. The cheapest quote so far in the UK is just shy of 100 a clip which is just too expensive in my opinion. I will keep you updated

I know...I know...and costs have probably hindered previous attempts at same. Just bear in mind that Europeantuning have this replica 854 R spoiler with "fitting materials" listed for €189. What exactly those fitting materials consist of I have no idea but I'll hazard a guess at 3M adhesive pads.

Also to answer your question I haven't done the estate spoiler brackets yet but again, if this was of interest to people, I would give it a go. I don't know how important a thing it is for people, if they are willing to spend what is looking like nearly 200 a set.

Are they the same as the ones pictured? (some on ebay just now)
The prices being quoted & advertised for used is really daft money:~ I don't have that style of Volvo but looking at these then it would be quite a straight forward task to make them up in stainless steel, basic tools would also suffice- or go to a local fabricator and see what they say: They are only bent metal with simple shapes! Hope it helps. Bob. |
