Ok, I’m back home and thing are not going as smooth as I was hoping, in fact they are really slow.
At lease I have 1 good set of carbon fibre and will get 1 set of fibreglass by mid week.
I’m presently working on a second bucket design which will be more like the original ones.
I also have to find a good way to put my covers with the TPC buckets or built a different covers style, will see.

Thanks

Hi everyone,
Things are going very slow, my fibreglass/carbon fibre guy is overload with work and had to put my buckets a side.
This also put on the stand by the development of the GTS original like bucket style.

Also, I had to teach my self AutoCAD and draw those buckets, here’s the first draft after 10 hours of work.



On top of that, I’m going away for work again for the next 2-3 weeks.
At lease, I had time to work on the covers (left and right) over the last week.
I did not had time to do one for the left side yet but here’s one for the right side fresh from this morning.





I will try to do one for the left side this afternoon if I find the time, if not it will have to wait until the 7-8 April.

Thanks

After a quick trim to a TPC bucket (don’t look to close, it was a very quick trim ) you can see the potential.

Getting close

I still have to:
-build the tool / template to trim the buckets
-find a local source for the 4x6 lights and hardware (buckets and bezel)
-finalise the installation process, and
-test everything

I’m still hoping to start sale in May

Thanks
