And this afternoon i decided to have a go at remaking the broken plastic guide from the top lefthand side of the pf. In the 1st pic i have temporarily glued the old plastic so i could trace its shape onto some polycarbonate plastic i had leftover from making my Zac universe plastics set. Its slightly thicker than the original (3mm) so will be stronger than the original and should be less likely to warp from the heat from the lamps.
2nd pic, im using a soldering iron to melt the metal posts out of the old plastic so i could reuse them in my new plastic.
3rd pic shows how they look as the come out, tapered out at the top to hold them into the plastic
4th pic after i have straightened the taper out as much as i could with pliers so i could mount them into the new plastic guide.
