Nicely done =)
I couldn't find the right way to form a plastic tube to the shape needed. I only have a propane stove and no heat gun, so you have to be extra careful not to melt/burn the plastic.
Instead, we ate some ice cream, and the shape of the wooden stick reminded my wife of something =) So she came up with this idea.
Items used
- Heavy wall, adhesive lined, 1 awg shrink tube with 3:1 shrink ratio.
- Ligh wall shrink tube.
- Two ice cream sticks.
- Lighter
- Scissors
- Sharpie (optional)
Used heavy duty shrink tube to bond sticks to the hinge and then light shrink tube to secure antennas to the sticks. Looks original as F from 10 feet away =)
Took me 5 min each, have to be careful with lighter not to overheat remote plastic. The heavy-duty shrink tube became very stiff after it cooled down and glue helped a lot.
In the picture one of the antennas is a little bit misaligned, it was the first one I did. Doesn't affect the functionality and the shrink tube fits nicely in the body of the remote.
Hope they will sell parts eventually.
