Great thread OMGJon! What do others use for installing their seats? Cut down a 6mm allen wrench to access the front seat mounting bolts. It is slow going but once the fronts are in then slide forward so a ratchet can be used for the rears. Hint: might need a wobble, universal or eccentric for easiest method. . . . Your solution is superb and evenly controls the pressure applied to the gauge trim ring. I see you have two dies for the different size of Dino instruments - wow!

I made this jig to cut and glue the rubber for the vent glass for the GTS models. The Gt rubber comes in one piece with no cutting or gluing required. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Does the GTS form have to be completely hand made? Such a dumb question, but I hadn't heard that before. Shawn
The upright piece is cut and fitted and a separate piece. The other 2 sides are about an inch or so too long and have to be trimmed and fitted.
Jig to make chrome gutter trim with the special oval profile on 206/L-series cars... Small detail, tough to make. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Andrew, is it possible to make two sets? Possibly it might lower the cost of the 'Bleriot Bros.' assembly. Regards, Alberto
Make it 2 1/2 sets....I am missing my lhs chrome edge.....You got my full respect for that jig Andrew....fantastic. Regards Peter
Thanks guys, this was the second jig we made. The first set didn't work out, much time and money spent! I spoke to Alberto on the phone about this, it's very labor intensive to make these trims and they need to be fitted to the car before final chrome. The trim varies from car to car and even side to side, handcrafted. I'll see what I can do....
Much Inspired by Andrew I decided to make my own chrome list. Bought some standard brass profiles and soldered them together. Spent an hour at in the rollers to shape the sandwich and a few more hours with my angle grinder, hand files and sand paper. The result is actually quite good and much nicer than the piece of useless stainless steel crap I spent more than 400$ on. Of to polishing and chrome. One less part to source...
