Making new rubber
I have an original Ford CMP gear lever boot in almost perfect condition, far too good to use on a vehicle.
Can anyone recommend someone who could reproduce these, or alternately is there anything like this available now?

Whoa!!!
Congratulations Keith,
This is the ONLY one of these I have ever seen. I didn't even know what it was supposed to look like before your photo. A mould/mold (? spelling) could be made fairly easily, and others produced for sure. As to who, I know not. You wouldn't want to see this damaged by amateur attempt. If you ever get to that stage & are considering making them for sale, I would take 2 straight away. Think on

Mold Making Techniques
Keith,
I have this instructional DVD on a large range of mold making methods. I will review it tomorrow night & arrange to send you a copy, if it proves to have useful information. Often these things can be made 'in-house' with the right knowledge & materials. If the copyright holder sees this post.......I am kidding about everything I just said. I would never do that!Anyhow, i'll get back to you tomorrow nocte with the verdict. It may be a handy FYI thing to have anyway. T.

There's a book here that may help -
http://www.frost.co.uk/classic-vehic...-a-cannon.html They also do a kit here - http://www.frost.co.uk/automotive-mi...-kit-500g.html I too would love one if you manage to make a few. |

Keith,
The blokes who do the lost-wax casting for sculptors to produce bronze (or any material) sculptures could do this standing on their head. Find some arty person and they will be able to track one down or I think the phone book might be a help. I had a mold of some rubber like material made to produce Dodge bonnet badges. Seem to remember it cost under $100. I just pour two pack resin into the mold (made from an original badge) and have put out about 20 badges. Once painted you can not tell them from original. Looks like the mold could produce hundreds indefinitely. The rubber bit you are talking about could be used to make a solid mold (inner and outer) then the rubber mould material could be poured in. Once set, popped out and repeated ad infinitem. One offs are no problem as you only need mix enough rubber compound for the order. Lang |

Mold Making DVD
Keith,
I have looked through the DVD, and it does have some useful information worth looking at. A lot of the techniques don't relate to your specific project, but at time of writing this post, I am attempting to copy the DVD using Pinnacle software. I will send a private message once/if copy is successful. As I said last night, DVD is worth having in full copy, even though it is 2.5hrs! Added @ 20:20hrs: Pinnacle is still creating the file to print. 1/2 way there!After watching the DVD, I don't think it would be difficult to create a good mold of your own doing! See Dalchem at Cheltenhan, VIC. for molding materials http://www.dalchem.com.au Also Barnes, in QLD, N.S.W & VIC. http://www.barnes.com.au Or Aldax Moulds, in N.S.W http://www.aldaxstore.com.au or http://rubbermoulds.com.au
