Thats Mr.Bart to you!
DIY Acrylic TBS FTW!
this was a spert of the moment DIY... done just for fun. this copy was a one off but the next one will be replicatable with a jigg and what not
this one was done 100% by KMM mike therwise known as my brother...
we/he started with a P2R throtle body spacer. and traced it onto a piece of 3/8 acrlic two make up the gesket,
this pic is of two cut out already
then we had a piexe is 1/4" smoked acrylic too so we tossed that in for looks.
here is is cut out,
then glued/lamiated
then the top layer... this is really rough and needed a few hours of sanding...
and it looked like this...
then more sanding...
SAND SAND SAND SAND!!!
and it looked like this
then attentions needed to be turned to the inside..
for this i recommended useing a smaller hole saw with sand paper glued to it wrapped around...
it worked well... and so did the automatic throtle controle...
AKA A ZIP TIE
this was repeted with a finer sand paper then with a scuff pad...
TA-DAAAA!!!
then all polished up!!!
......
and the real reason for this mod!
finaly got to installing it. Looking good!!!
