Graeme Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 On the right is a Tim cab and the left is a MTX cab with a JD 6400 lid on it. You could play about with the MTX cab to straighten it out to look right but you will have to forfeit the glass. Only a suggestion . Ricky will not be happy if he sees this MTX cab.

Graeme Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Another suggestion. Take the lid off the Tim cab, put the lid from the 6400 cab on the Tim and see what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi6920 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Im working on the cab lid at the moment here is a pic ( crap quality tho) What do you think for the thickness? I think that will make it look better if i take it all to that thickness.. im still thinking on the window front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I sort of go with the thoughts that the front of the cab is the weak point - haven't a better suggestion though - C'mon Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 That's getting there Graham, certainly beats the MTX cab also the rear window pillar needs to be a bit thinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi6920 Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Yeah still too curvy on the front mate, needs to be vertical down. Looking alot beter though! After how much of a pig this was to do i think im just going to shave the roof and leave the front window alone on the next one.. i still have a cab idea up my sleve or in the post im not sure? it aint over till the fat lady sings, and she is looks much better, keep going your onto a winner. as people say it isnt 100% but its alot closer, say 90% more than what is currently availible remember im down for one on ya order list Yea the fat lady sang mine then she sat on the front window Im happy with how it looks ( with a compleate front window..) there might not be a order list... My dealer cant do 10 at a good price. he wants rrp on all them... i dont know who else to get them thru... If i got them at full rrp it would make the price around $70nzd each 7810 if the cab is cast... bout $60 if just the mtx and bonnet..

Graeme Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 For the difference in price I would vouch for the casting myself. Spend money to make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
