[Tigers] Mark II Trim

[Ron Fraser]

	I believe some of the 3-D printers work with sintered metal however
I have no idea if that is a good option for this trim part.  The next
problem is someone having a 3-D printer large enough for the parts.

Some of the Colleges, Trade schools and Universities should be offering
courses in 3-D printers but I have not investigated to know if they do.

Hi All:

I don't know if it is possible, but it seems to me that, given the recent
advances in 3-D printing, it might be possible to reproduce the moldings in
plastic and have them silver coated. I think a lot of auto moldings are done
this way nowadays. The advantage would, hopefully, be the lowered cost. If
done well enough, only someone with a sharp eye would know. If the price
turns out low enough, it would be a wise move on the part of every MkII
owner to buy a set as a backup, or even as the primary set so as to preserve
the original. I have a friend with a MkII who needs one piece of side trim
who would be very pleased with such a solution. Just a thought for
discussion.
