hey guys, can any of you remember back to your school days where we used VACUUM FORMING. I would love to make the covers from clear plastic, for the Bling factor and being able to see if the belts are loose.
for those of you not old enough or if it wasn't at skool

Didn't do anything fun like that at Grammar School.

Good point bobbber  There must be some high melting point plastic forming plastic. Shame we couldn't get the original makers to inject their moulds with clear plastic.
