Fairing tabs

[MarkinNam]

I'm looking for people with fairings for VT 250F with original tabs on the fairings, what i'm trying to achieve is to make my own by getting a mould (s) from yours, the proceedure should be straight forward by making ABS slurry and pouring my own tabs using this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh9KF69lfwA ,,,,,, thanks in advance to all who can help.

Which tabs do you need to replace?

[MarkinNam]

the ones which hold fairing to head lamp bracket, each side under triangular cover, this i ain't proud of and want to replace

if any one is close to Perth I can drive to other wise a set of clear pictures will suffice

Sorry, not anywhere near Perth (other side of OZ) and mine is the F2 model which doesn't have those triangular bits. Seems like a good idea, good luck with it.

the saga continues with a search for suitable media to form a mold in which to pour the tabs, I tried bee's wax which became a sponge like mess when removed from the mold. Parafin wax will be next and modelling clay

Plaster of paris?

[spotthedogg]

I was thinking PoP for a second too but the clay seems like it may be better

[MarkinNam]

plaster of paris May be ok but a bit dubious about it being so absorbent

[MarkinNam]

parafin wax` doesnt work

Both kits have molding blocks for copying things like tabs on fairings.

Here's some pix from my work bench. I couldn't figure out how to add 4 photos. I will add each one very separately.
