I mounted the 11 set in its carrier tray today and onto an original bracket used in a mk1 universal carrier, so it's all ready to go in, I made up some "shock mounts" as per originals. Earth straps applied, I need to repair the tray at some point to colour match it to the set.

On to the next project.

Hi mike, no I haven't, it's in exceptional condition inside, but one of the valves is broken, I no radio expert so it's for show use only, but maybe one day it will live again.

Kevin.

This is my home made attempt at casting from an original cover, I'm going for the 75 year old desert sun baked look.

That is a pretty good result . What type of resin did you use ?

The originals do suffer from some form of degeneration and fade , I have some 11 set meter covers that have a yellowy foggy appearance .

Mike, I going to have another go, try and get rid of the air bubbles. Remould it the other way up, will post some pics and give details of the resin used.
