Throttle Pockets for Digitrax UT4 Throttles
Hi Carl, Very ingenious. What sort of temperature/ what signs do you get/read, that lets you know the plexiglass is ready to mold, and not "under/over" done as it were? Do you warm up the mold first?

Hi Allan, Yip you are correct. But I would stick to two decimal places for consistancy sake, and head that column " Cross Sectional Area in mm2" AND also include a column "Diameter mm" [who's going to
