Tax disc holders

Post by Maz »

Here in the UK we are required to display our tax discs on our vehicles (Road Fund Licence). This is a bit of a pain as they are printed on paper and easily get damaged and/or stolen..... :think: Not being content with the conventional flat disc type holders I decided to machine up some billet aluminium cylinderical holders - and here they are......
Flat tab mounting type....

Not bad for a couple of hours work eh guys? :banana-dance:

I think I'll make a few more and put them on Evilbay to help fund my project......... :think:

Thanks dude, the cear tube sits in a machined groove at either end with a silicone seal and there is a long stainless steel bolt (cap head/allen bolt) which holds it all together....

Ok so you got me :whistle: its an old tax disc from my car - I keep all my old tax discs as part of the history of each of my vehicles (along with the MOT certificates and parts bills etc)......

Just to keep you happy (and to avoid being grassed up) I'll put an old tax disc in the post to you :laughing-rolling:

But if you want one of my tax disc holders then drop me an email or message and we'll talk :banana-dance:
