Had some time this morning, so I thought I would build my own vac. former, it was costing me too much in Bourbon to have my mate do it for me.
I found this old vax in the shed.

Built a bit of a box and mounted the vax underneath

Made a perforated top

assembled the vac former

made a MDF frame to hold the plastic

mysteriously it ended up the same size as the oven tray.... how convenient

bake for about 5 mins or until sufficient sag has been achieved in the plastic. turn on the vax
remove frame from oven and place over die that is sitting in the middle of the perforated top hey presto a hinge cover for the Kirkham

And finally installed

It is black its just the camera flash that makes it look grey.
I know its not double over head valve rockers arms with multipoint bling and really awesome bits but I thought it was pretty cool and may be of interest for someone.
Cheers
