I'll be back from Jamaica on the 11th of this month and them am not likely to dive again until at the earliest February on a Bonne Terre trip and for sure diving mid April so I could send you my VT3 to play with when I get back.
It'll return alive correct?
Step one is to see if the gauge lends itself to a reasonable / practical mold.
That takes a day or two.
Step two is to make a careful CAD model of the instrument.
That can require quite a bit of time
Step three is to design a mold.
That can require quite a bit of time.
Step four is to actually machine the mold.
More time.
Step five is to test fit the instrument in the molded part and see if it is adequately retained, and meets the other requirements.
More time.
Could I do all in 3-4 weeks? Sure if I had no other daily responsibilities. As a practical matter the typical instrument mount mold is about a 6 month project.
If you are willing to send me your mount I can get Steps 1 & 2 done and return the computer. I'll need it back and or another latter on.
No instruments have been harmed in the development of any of our mounts.
