Default RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.

No I dont have anything to show you. I have the tape leftover from the hvac installation on the new house and what I plan to do is use the template to cut the tape to the same shape but a little larger. Cut out the window area leaving an 1/8 inch in the inside and a 1/4 inch on the outside. It can be cut with sissors and a hobby knife. It does not stretch very much so it must be cut to shape much as a real fairing must be made. I will have to experiment with it, but I am pretty sure that I can get it to work. Be sure to buy the profesional grade sold by a HVAC supply house. The tape is usefull for lots of household fixes so the 8 or 10 bucks they get for it will not be wasted.

The other thing to do is to glue the windows on and use strips of covering film to fair them to the body.
