Something I thought might be a nice idea to start but it might already either been done or in the works is to maybe create a kind of digital Dolomite. basically making some bits and pieces virtually that any forum member could access and a reasonably competent person could manufacture them either from original style materials or from modern style materials. If other people want to contribute sketches, drawings, or files, they can be added as well.
It’s just something that I’d be working on in my spare time. I’ve already done a handful of components that are 95% the way there (just due to manufacturing tolerances of BL make the last 5% hard), but accurate enough that someone could make it. Could either be used to help someone repair their components or build something from scratch that isn’t easily available.
The main items I’m thinking of are like; carpets, door cards, boot trim, dashboard wood panels, door trim, etc. Things that can be made without the use of a several-tonne press or complex machines.
I can start, I just spent a good few hours modelling up the under-dash parcel shelf, just as it was in the garage, and the front uprights. The uprights aren’t something someone could make but its to help me work on something else more interesting
Edit: added sketch of the parcel shelf
... Still Sprintless.
