Photos as promised. The mount (GoPro curved): With the camera fitted: Frame capture from video - Hero 4 in linear mode (rather than wideangle): My Hero 4s have no image stabilisation, but the footage from my recent Pyrenees trip was rock solid. I also used an external microphone...

I'll be planning a road trip for me and my son in the E85, and my touring buddy in his Jaguar XJR - and hoping to team up with another friend of mine in the south of France in his DB7 - either in June or possibly in September (all Covid dependent of course). I've driven in the Pyrenees several...

I'd been looking out for a reasonably priced 1:12 scale Kyosho model for quite a while, and finally managed to grab one on eBay for £160. It was pretty dirty, so I stripped it down and popped the various parts into my ultrasonic cleaner. I tried to carefully pull off the glued-on seat...

I've just replaced the mesh in my E85 wind deflector, and hit upon a way of doing this that made the job really simple. The idea hit me when I was looking at how to replace the FEP release film on my 3D resin printer. This film forms the bottom of the resin vat, and has to be at the correct...

Sorted! Hopefully the mesh will finally arrive from Poland tomorrow so I can say goodbye to the hole! Having said that, I'm toying with the idea of replacing the mesh with a clear or grey tinted 3mm perspex insert. If anyone else needs these inserts, I've put the STL file in the...

Aha - I've found a photo of the official retrofit boot bracket kit: So I now know what they should look like, and they should be really easy to design and 3D print.

Hi guys. I'm in the process of retrofitting the OEM windbreak, including the boot lid brackets - and it's those that have me puzzled! There are rectangular holes where the fixing screws should go, so I assume they're for quicknuts or cage nuts. M4 cage nuts fit the holes perfectly, and I...

I've been considering adding a resin printer to my 3D printer collection, and came across this one last night: QIDI TECH S-Box 10.1" Resin 3D Printer The LCD screen is 2k colour rather than the latest 4k mono, but print volume is more important to me than speed, and this one is a massive...

That's pretty straightforward. The mount above is in two parts - the dashboard bracket and the charger mount plate. All you need is to design a simple holder for the phone with two 6mm holes spaced 20mm apart horizontally, which are used to attach to the dashboard bracket. The back of the holder...

For several months I've been experimenting with various designs for a mount for my mobile phone. I use a navigation app (Scenic), and this can quickly run down the phone's battery on long tours - so what I actually need is a mount for a wireless phone charger. My original approach was a large...

That looks very familiar! In my case, a squash ball rather than a tennis ball! :) :thumbsup:

I've found some boxes that will enable me to package this - it's bigger than I remembered as well! Overall package dimensions: 70cm x 48cm x 36cm Weight: 12kg Pickup postcode: OX11 0BH If you want to go ahead at £50 plus your courier costs, please drop me a PM and we can exchange contact...

Spookily, one of my current Z4 mods is to make a mount for an Amazon Echo Auto (a Prime Day purchase!), using the speedo housing as per the phone holder you linked to! I've designed the bracket part: and am finalising the magnetic holder part - so I just need to merge the two together. So...

Hi again. Change of plan - my son informed me that my DIY services weren't required today after all, so I've completed the Mk2 pedal stop! Here are the basic components (an M10 coach bolt and an old squash ball) and the completed item: The lighting doesn't really show it, but the inner...

Evening all. When I acquired my E85 last year I found it difficult to get consistent smooth gear changes from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd. The abomination known as the Clutch Delay Valve was speedily removed, and although it improved things the clutch still didn't feel right, but I just put...
