However, I got two other samples either side (commonly in the uk they're "light tint" and "dark tint"). I can't remember the light indexes on these, but dark lets less light through than the 36% and was TOO dark. The light was too light (and let more light through than the 36%). So I'm pretty confident the 36% will be fine.
I think I just made that WAAY more complicated than it needed to be.
Greta value too - came well packaged + plexi in good nick. Can't remember how much the bezel plexi was, but wasn't much. Maybe ask them for samples?
Also - don't forget to get your marquee plexi whilst you're at it.
I went for 5mm on my bezel plexi. Also get some Vuplex and a good microfibre - polishes the plexi quick and effectively.
Great to have another Uk builder! :)

Thanks - was this the one you went for?

Good shout on the marquee - did you go same thickness there too? 2 pieces?
stigzler:
Thimk so but do check with them. My mayquee is slightly different in that I have a dynamic display, bur I went for the 3mm to protect the screen. Youd be best with two sheets of 3mm id suggest.

What's the general consensus on how to hold the marquee and plexi in place at the top? Just wondering if this might affect how i re-do my marquee piece...

Hello,
Can anyone point me to where a hi-res version of the plan is? All I can find is the image in Reply #61. It has the dimensions, but the image is blurry. I see a reference to a PDF, but haven't found that either.
Thanks!
Justin

Here's a folder of what i collected. Anything in cm is not an original plan but my update based upon it. Use with a pinch of salt as something went wrong in my using them resulting in a little less space than others seem to have. Nothing that can't be compensated for with a little more wood (and time) however!
