    Inspired by a video from PowerfulUK, and with vernier in hand, I set about making a holder for an AirTag tracker.

    Lots of things to “avoid” in the mounting location pretty much forces the design.





    Test print underway now

    Finished, quick run in ASA and it fits.
    Couple of lines on the print where I opened the enclosure and temp shifted.

    What happened to your D3/D4 today?

    Or just drop one into the pocket on the back of the front seats, where everything goes to die. No one would stick their hand in there else risk getting covered in the detritus that is my children.

    In my vehicle that’s not an option, metallic tint, heated front screen etc all but kill the signal beyond a few feet.

    The fuel door is plastic, no attenuation at all.

    I also removed its speaker, so no giveaway beeping sounds, only the notification after several hours that a tag is moving with them.

    Are you willing to post up the file for others to print one?

    18 agin

    despite being scolded by various, I did modify calipers to fit 18 inch rims to my SDV6 and the work looks very pro as I spent my life building high end metal yachts
    waiting for some killjoy to tell me it is illegal,
    my response, IT IS NOT people mod race cars, and trucks to make them better and this is what I have done
    to tell you the truth, this site can bring more neg comments than I thought it should
    thought somehow there would be more camaraderie
    IMO opinion, there is more knowledge here, but far less of the latter than the USA Sites

    Agreed.
    It's like grinding the outer ridge off a brake disc with an angle grinder. Quite ok so long as the disc is within specified thickness.
    No difference than machining the entire disc.
    Or fitting a bung to a tubeless tyre, I did over 40,000 klms with a bung.
    Just use your commonsense!

    Now: MY13 D4 TDV6. "E" rear diff. Cambo's magic Engine & Auto Tune. 1968 Austin 1800 Mk1 auto (my 5th)

    Didn’t happen without pictures…

    Also, there are 18” rims available that don’t need grinding…so what drove your decision?
