I like the look of the chrome strip fitted around the front edge of some modern Sterns and wouldn't mind fitting some to my RBION. Has anyone bought anything suitable? I can't see the right width on eBay, needs to be 18mm or 3/4"
 
Yeah it's t molding but you can get self adhesive strip that will do the same. I just can't find the right size.
 
Bought some of this from amazon and just fitted it, enough to do 4 machines, not bad for £16.55!. It's not T molding, has peel and stick foam strips along the back. I like the look so fitted to my i500, shadow and getaway too. I think it actually suits the latter machines more than the RBION because it matches the side rails, very happy with the result;

Aww you could have mitred the corners ;)

Seriously tho looks quite good - ideal if you want to hide some minor cab damage....
 
Kev, you're turning in to Neil....! :D Not to mention that two of them used to be his...! :eek: Mind you you've a way to go yet.... ;)
 
Thanks, RFM to the left too although it's not working, waiting for motherboard and prism card to come back.
Where did you send the Prism card to? Mine failed about a month after getting the machine and I couldn't get it repaired. Eventually had to track another one down. I've got a spare motherboard though if yours isn't repairable.
 
Looks great Kev. Did you just stick it over on RBION or remove the original T moulding? If former would have thought it might stick out too far?

Was thinking of doing similar to to my RBION

Cheers

I stuck it over the top, don't think it sticks out too far. The original black stuff is thin and a little curved but it fits over it nicely I think. You would want yellow though wouldn't you?

No chrome as yellow would be OTT:)
