Working on some 3d printed cases for all the TVR black boxes. I'm sure I will come to regret it as I bet the TVR ones where design to rattle and have giant holes in for a reason. But I thought this is a nice little side quest. Started with the steering module now. I took part number of internet so might not be Tvr lol. Anyway. Thoughts. ? Not sure I need mounting tabs. As to be honest Velcro pretty good. But I was more after a more fitting box for board and plugs.

Bet someone posts a link now to them already done and printed lol

I like that, I'm a bit of a fussy g!t about neat & tidy, so sorting that area appeals. I think you're stuck with velcro or similar, as they mount on top of the tank in mine, I think? But they could mount onto a single board, which is then velcro'd perhaps - not sure there's any benefit though?

That's a great idea and the original boxes fit like cr*p - really felt like they went to RS or Maplin, bought a load of random boxes and then just dremelled some holes in them and went crazy with the hot glue gun

I'm up for a few of these when you have them designed thumbup

Wouldn't surprise me, there was a Maplins by the airport when they expired...

Also, subject to pricing, I'm in.
