Control Box Covers for the QED

hippyhunter · Dec 10, 2019

I really would like some type of control box and control interface covers for my qed.
Something of the usual canvas material would be great for a little bit of rain protection.
Is there anything known to be available at the moment? If not, has anyone made a diy version?

Send the measurements in to Double D Leather for a quote or ask them if they've done any before?

If the demand is there they should be interested in making/supplying them?

Well i didnt hear back from dd after a week so made one myself. A $2 tent peg bag from aussie disposals and some stick on velcro tabs from bunnings on bottom for fitting and back for battrry access). Total cost $4. I will make one more i think to get a better fit. Added some photos......

I ran out of velcro strips for the battery flap so it looks a bit unfinished in the pics at the back. Will fix that tommorow

Strange for DD Leather not to get back to you? Been a couple years since I asked about getting something done but they were always quick to respond + grateful for the business as a lot use overseas manufacturers.
With the growth of the QED you'd think they'd be onto it?

I asking Goldman a couple weeks ago if he had a protective pouch. He said He had one in development. Haven't asked recently

I was suprised i didnt hear back from dd too mbasko. Maybee my email went to their junk mail folder. I was asking goldman about it a few months back also dave. I ended uo with too much spare time while waiting. I will take some photos for a tutorial on the cover i did. Its super easy to make. No sewing required at all

Ended up making another one with pouch for the signal sender, sleeve for scoops, no audio socket hole (as i made a lead with banjo 6.5mm to 3.5mm), and a controller cover with plastic screen cover. This one tooke a bit more time and required some hand sewing.
Pics below:

All the material came from one tent peg bag, also used 3 velcro strips and for the plastic screen i cut up a waterproof phone holder and glued it to the canvas

Hello Goldman

Due to Corona I assume Bendigo Gold show will not take place.

When are the QED covers to be released ?

Cheers

Give him a call dave. I am pretty sure he has them already. I recall seeing at least one when i went to visit the other week. Maybee he can pop one in the post for ya?

G'Day All

Brian asked me to put these photos up of the QED Covers that are available. Design may change slightly from what you can see

Any Questions direct them to Goldman not me

Cheers

Did he have stock of the lambswool armrests dave? I do want one of those. They look comfy

Dave63 · Mar 27, 2020

hippyhunter · Mar 27, 2020
