    Gotcha. There will never be measurements of the flux bands in the file. You nailed the reasons why. They are very individual to each car and even the slightest difference in installation or fabrication can make or break the conversion. I've always left that up to each individual builders style and tastes.

    When I repost the adjusted file, I'll see about saving it out as a DXF as well.

I believe those are more or less hand crafted, but wasn't sure on the exact measurements.

    If you update the file at all, I can convert it again and hoat the new version alongside the old one.

    Just wanted to give an update on this mess. It's been very slow going, but i'm making progress. With the help of a few others, we're working on a few new additions to the CAD File

    GW2-001.jpg

    Screen Accurate Part II and III TCD Enclosure (which was used in the A-Car restoration). Drawn from the original unit in the C-Car after filming.

    GW2-002.jpg

    Minor Tweaks to the overhead console set. I'll also be including a flat for the switch banks if you don't feel like taking forever to drill the LMB boxes.

    GW2-003.jpg

    The Robinson Gyro Mount on the rear deck. Not a 100% dead-on copy, but simplified a bit to be scratchbuilt (I'm still tweaking it a bit here and there with new info).

    Still a TON more to do and as I said, it's taking a ton of time to get dialed in.

    However if you have any questions about the project, please feel free to ask away. These days there is nothing too terribly secret about all this mess. I'm happy to help.

    I'm trying to get an update done as fast as I can. It's been terrible weather for getting anything done around here and now my home computer has developed some sort of "issue". Still trying to diagnose that problem, but hope to have a substantial update soon.

    No Problem. This is going to be well worth the wait!

    It's in the masterfile. Flat plans for the main plate and even the switch housings if you have a shop good enough to bend them up and don't feel like trying to cut out the LMB Heeger boxes.

    I should have a better updated version of the file up within a week or two. I still have the computer issues at home so I'm trying to update the file at my office. It's very slow going at the moment. Sorry about the delays.

    No worries Gary. I (like most others) really do appreciate this info. It's how this 'hobby' should always be :-)

    I disagree Nut, but thank you Mr. Weaver for your diagrams. I hope that in the next year to be able to replicate them on my own without help. Everybody has a dream and some of us do not have the ability that Mr. Weaver, Mr. Moseley or Mr. Coulumbe have.

    I applaud your workmanship Sir.

    Mr. Nut. Building BTTF cars is like singing. I can build a BTTF mod but I may just fook it up and will need some help, just like I can sing but its like two cats fooking.

    I don't follow... What did you disagree with Nut about?
