Formula bulge insert dimensions
Anybody have the dimensions for the formula hood bulge insert? The plastic plate insert not the metal insert.
Need it for a project and my bulge is tweaked(bent) enough to not be what I want...

Re: Formula bulge insert dimensions
You lost me... When you say "Plastic", do you mean the aluminum block off plate? Or are you talking about the cast Chinesium "Ornament" at the back of the bulge?
The only plastic piece I can think of would be the cowl induction ducting.

News to me if they're all metal. Never had one so I don't know. Figured the honeycomb was plastic...

Re: Formula bulge insert dimensions
Honeycomb is metal. My formula has one that looks like a metal plate and has different size holes in it almost the diameter of the plate. Never seen another one before...
Re: Formula bulge insert dimensions
Yep, the block off plate and the open honeycomb plate are both aluminum sheet. When they age the black finish fades to shiny bare aluminum.
I'll try to remember to upload a photo in the morning, of the plate with a tape measure for size reference.

Re: Formula bulge insert dimensions
Haven't worked on this in a couple weeks, but here's a teaser of what I'm planning.
This is only a portion of what will end up being a large project.

Re: Formula bulge insert dimensions
Mine will be printed ABS or Nylon and honeycombed. It will also have a spot to clip in the same 3x 1” LED digit readout. Should hold up being next to outside air.
I need about an hour to finish but my time in the garage with calipers is limited. I can soon after have a template file on thingiverse for somebody to print up and check general fitment.
Alternatively I can easily load up a honeycomb only fitment check file whenever.
The ‘finished’ file is a short bit after I can check LED fitment myself.
