A few weeks ago I found a small Flourecent plastic sitting on the PF so investigated and found this pictured below.
Bear in mind these protectors were not made by me but came already fitted to my GOTG LE when I bought it.

The orb protector had broke in 2 places due to how narrow the protector had been made but it could have been worse and been the original one which is just as narrow. The protector fitted was exact whereas I always make mine slightly larger by around 1-1.5 mm
BTW I did enquire and GOTG doesn’t do a common break set that I know of so you would have to get a full set if you wanted like new

So I went about redesigning this and a few of the important ones beefing them up a little just in case. Also while I was on I put a much needed window for the ORB that is so much better as it let’s you see the target and the light below is not diffused onto the orb when it splits or in the case of the pro lights up.

It took a few prototypes till I was more than happy with the outcome. I have since done a few sets for the community over in the U.K. Some have opted for clear while others have gone for colour coordinating rocket with Red and the right ramp in blue. Each to their own but for me it’s all about the eye popping candy of the fluorescent green.

This also spurred me on to replacing the slings and Outlanes as the flashback marks from the laser could be seen and I wanted to oversize those 1mm too.

Final pic is obligatory of my little pin wizard doing final testing.

Quoted from HarrieD:

Got mine too from Colin and I love them. Great guy, very quick response on the mail, willing to help you out and do custom work.
Thanks Colin!

Quoted from cpr9999:

I sell a version of these only in clear for sometime- see my posts in this forum.
Lesson I learned long ago is protectors like these need to be made from Pet-g plastic. Acrylic will cause cracks. Also, mine include a little loop cutout to route wire.

I offer clear for all my protectors using extruded 2mm Acrylic which is stronger but is not available in Fluorescent colours which is only 3mm in cast which everyone uses.
I have done too many to even count now mainly in Flourecent and not had one return ever! That’s why I give lifetime guarantee as long as they the original buyer and they pay for postage.
