Manic Moore Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 I managed to damage the end of my trailer board when turning around in the dark It is only the plastic that has broken and I only need to transfer my old lights over to a new board. Does anyone know where you can get this plastic board from? is it used in other applications? Or does anyone have a spare 6' trailer board gathering dust that they would like to despose / sell off? Regards Gordon Quote
Manic Moore Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Posted September 16, 2007 I tried the local car spares shop and they only do complete boards and don't do the 6' boards either. Are you aware that they supply blank boards? My first option is to find a piece of the same plastic and make a new one from my electrics Gordon Quote
plaicemat Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 (edited) Gordon, you can buy it cheaper from any plastics company that supply for the domestic trades, i.e. replacement windows, barge boards, cladding, etc. You may have to buy an 8ft or 10ft section but this is still cheaper than Halfords, etc. Make sure you get some end caps, these are held in place with Superglue which you should buy from the same place. You get about 200ml for the same price that those silly little dispensers cost. Terry. Edited September 16, 2007 by plaicemat Quote
plaicemat Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 If you have any trouble getting it, let me know. Terry. Quote
Manic Moore Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Posted September 16, 2007 Thanks Terry Thats given me a steer, I have Googled and it looks like a poece of upvc gravel board or a window sill as the soffets and clading are all solid. I will look about now and see what I can find Regards Gordon Quote
Maverick Martin Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Plastic fencing board is probably the stuff you need. Failing that get a new board from Indespension for Quote
plaicemat Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Just take your old board with you, Gordon, and they will match it. Then just cut to length, add end caps and, Robert is most definitely, your uncle. Terry. Quote
TomBettle Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 Gordon I have a spare in the office you can "borrow" on long term loan. I haven't checked the electronics, but now I have got rid of the pick up, I am unnlikely to be dragging too many boats aruond so you would be welcome to it. Tom Quote
endeavour boats Posted September 18, 2007 Report Posted September 18, 2007 The lighting boards are made using the same material as the red and white road work barriers. The time it will take to swap all the lights over will cost more than a new one(tried it for a customer). Quote
