Topic: Reproduction Hi Viz Masts

That's it Chas! Have you still got any of them? It's the bottom part I'm particularly interested in but how much would it be for a complete set of two of each?

Hi there Danny Iwill have to have some more made it may take a week or so ...

Danny did you ask about the flasher unit from me ..If so can you let me have your posting details

[danny7147]

Finally done it! Here are some photos... This is now the production version 


New on left, original on right

New hi viz/poles from rear

There are a couple of tiny air bubbles that don't really notice. The poles are heat shrink plastic around aluminium tube.

Let me know your thoughts guys and I'm going to sit down and have a cup of tea and sleep while I think up the prices 

Think you'll agree it's come out pretty nicely!!

Excellent! They're coming out really well, but I'm having a slight air bubble glitch at the momenton the bottom lip, near where it says "REAR". I should be able to overcome it with a bit more work, but I'm really pleased at the result so far! The air bubbles you can only really notice if you 'look' at the flag, but even so, at the moment they're a LOT cheaper than holding out for an original one and they look almost identical.

As it stands at the moment, it will be:-

Flag + short poles - £20
Flag + long poles - £26

Postage to UK - £4
Postage to Europe - £8

Once I've made some more and got a stash of them I'm going to be having a go at the front indicator next!

Wow, will definitely want a short set when you've made enough. I was going to buy a standard hi-vis flag for a recumbent,  but that's 10times better.

They look great  .   Can I ask how many you envisage making in the first batch?

[Karl]

You've done really well there matie , they turned out fab 

[kamilb1998]

It really does look fantastic. Look forward to seeing the indicators, I would like a set for mine at some point.

FANTASTIC job  Danny

Thanks for all the kind comments 

I was looking at the prices yesterday and I suddenly thought that the prices I gave before are exactly the same as buying through Ebay, which isn't good because of course buying direct from me on here avoids the Ebay fees... so!

Short set - £20
Long set - £26

With free shipping to UK. That makes it about £4 cheaper than Ebay 

mhurt - I've actually got a couple of short sets made now so either message me or email me on djcogan@yahoo.co.uk and I'll send you one!

Like I say, they look really good, they're a great cheap option rather than paying huge money for a 'real' set. The plastic look and feel is very, very similar to the originals too
