Nice one, have you noticed a discernible reduction in sensitivity at all ?

Need those pictures ! I'm keen to see how the doping looks

[Alfi]

I'll pop some pictures up tonight.

They are far less bright in the midband now.

Some pics of the journey...

Bison Kit glue around dust cap.




The cabinets are inverted as my current stands are too tall.




Steel plates glued and screwed into place.

Thanks - Very interesting ! I was expecting more doping than that... I shall have to go easy on mine so I don't put too much on the begin with.

Good work on the steel, looks proper job.

Seriously neat work on the steel plates !

[Alfi]

Thanks for your kind remarks Gents.

The pictures are crap but you've got the gist of what's been done.. If I did this again I'd increase the thickness of all plates to 5mm and the dimension of the side plates to 340mm x 150mm. As they are now they are 340 x 120 as I played it safe to ensure I could get the longer side in no problem.

The doping material "Plasti-dip" was a breeze to apply and it dries to quite a smooth matt finish - very happy with it and of course the way the AP2's are performing.

I've just resurrected the AP2 thread on pfm advising folk who may be thinking of going down this route, to go right on and do it.

I wonder how it'll be received ?

Classic section. I've just edited an old post of mine on page 4 back when I was a doubting Thomas

O dear rob Holt will be along any minute to tell you you are deaf.
