Great! Can you at least post a photo or two of them, if they arrive before you leave town?
Same, If mine actually show up today!
Tell me you're a retired mechanical engineer without telling me you're a retired mechanical engineer! EVS needs to put you on their R&D payroll. Nice work.March 8th Update:
While I will experiment with various sizes of these rubber plugs (ranging in size from 70mm-100mm), I also plan to test out my original non rubber thermoplastic Flush Mount caps. As mentioned on page 1, I will use my heat gun to form the cap around the bracket bend/bulge as I push the panel up and back in place. Recall, I plan to drop the inner panel edge, but will not be messing with any of those F'n clips!
Quick shot of the flush-mount in a hole. They have zero issue with the bend in the plastic panel.
Just trying to find a solution for that small subset of "anal-retentive" customers who care about what gets between the panels and frame - and for those living in areas with tons of needles, leaves, gravel and mud! The weight of all that shite will definitely cause problems with at least the panels (popping down, etc.)
Some more shots of the very flexible thermoplastic plugs in a 4" (not 100mm) hole. Perfect. Can't wait to test out on Saturday, when I "should" have the running boards.
Set 1 of 4 of the Chinese rubber plug sets have arrived - These are the 80mm hole size ones. Enjoy in good health! 90 or 100 MM are probably the right ones, if not the thermoplastic plugs posted earlier.
Edit #1: Not a huge fan of how thin the material thickness is at the "pre-cut" "Plus" lines, or the "looks" and shine, however. Should be fine, structurally, but I may just stick with the thermoplastic plugs as I'm afraid, with time and grime, these might tear at those points... My 100mm sizes are still "two weeks" out, "probably" coming "s00n"... (Channeling EM, there ha ha)
Edit #2: Shout out for someone to find/source these rubber plugs w/o the "+" pre-cuts! Bonus satisfaction points to the first three who can deliver "da goods"!
Edit #3: Grove thickness and depth should work well, seating wise.
Edit #4: Coming s00n....
@EV Sportline FYI
Wonderful but zero inventory and abysmal review of “very slow” provider... We need a viable source.
And this place other source is a joke. Ordered a month ago and nothing ever arrived.Wonderful but zero inventory and abysmal review of “very slow” provider... We need a viable source.
Should be by Sunday…
Awesome!!
