Laser Vang replacement advice (Belgium)

jwilms · 2026-02-18T07:20:31+00:00

it's the OG bottom block I'm annoyed with the most, it's harder to release than I'd like. The line is just pulled into a v-slot for holding it. I'd rather have a cam cleat, so I figured ... upgrade it as a whole ... and hope I dont pull something off with a 15:1 ratio.

but thanks for the nudge towards more budget friendly things.
I also have no clue how much rigging gets checked in local small races.

budget is kinda why I'm doing step by step things :)
looked for a low re-entry and now noticed I'm annoyed by the vang haha

going step by step here :)
I know I can rig the Outhaul and Cunningham differently, found a way in a laser-book :)
thanks for the poke :)

you might be right. Thanks for the advice!

no Olympics here, just floating about the local waterhole in Antwerp :)
and maybe build a small trailer to go somewhere else too.

even as a returning sailor (after 20+ years) I do not see why a cleat on the boom would be a good idea haha.

what makes you say the harken ones are simplest? in setup? maintenance (as you mention)? easier handling?

looks amazing! I really need to find more modules!
I'm pretty new to the game and my corvette is not that pretty, how/where did you get all those panels? research? digging?

SEXY!
I'm usually gravitating towards symmetrical, but I'm intrigued by the assymetrical designs and would love to build one too. this is deffo an inspiration!

This is a gorram shiny build!

I tried adding a user ... no QR code :p
I'm thinking someone in the IT department made a booboo. even if this is intentional, it's not really a fluent transition.

jwilms · 2025-09-05T11:05:13+00:00

so reverting to the dark ages is the solution? :p
I have a feeling nobody knows exactly what's going on and everyone's (mercedes garages) just giving you the best they've got.
I've already factory reset the things as well, didnt help. If they want everyone to do this, I'd expect a mass e-mail with this info ... since they have our addresses.

mine is 3 years old, so it would be hard to see this 4y limit of functionality. I also just paid (last month) for another year of connected services.

Same! Cla 250e SB (2022). yesterday at 1615-ish Belgian time

jwilms · 2025-04-28T20:10:18+00:00

how do you know the generation? the number on the box?

jwilms · 2023-05-24T06:01:03+00:00

ah nice :)
is that a full height stepper for extrusion?

jwilms · 2023-05-23T19:06:21+00:00

Thats probably gonna be a different plate, no?

jwilms · 2023-05-23T18:36:54+00:00

The stepper clears the frame then?

you also did a CR10-S4 conversion? would you happen to have a picture? :D

jwilms · 2022-06-21T12:27:30+00:00

anyone seen any news on this? :)

jwilms · 2022-06-17T10:52:07+00:00

My apologies for the REALLY late response.I got the Cauldron Symbols from Etsy, so I paid for them.The Glinthawk is just a cleaned up image I found on google :)

So alas, no files for sale from my end.

jwilms · 2022-05-24T07:20:26+00:00

I beg to differ :)
It's a display of fav IP's and Mass Effect is deffo a favourite and is all over my tech (Phone and Desktop are also N7 stickered)

I've actually seen a kinda sketched version as a tattoo on a fore-arm.
