Hello Greg,
I am very impressed ! Thank you for this contribution to the Scalextric Community.
Have printed two R2 Outer inserts. Perhaps predictably, despite your note, I broke one of the tabs (centre lower) on the first one but was successful second time. I think easing out the slot a bit before fitting helps.
The inserts fit really well. In fact it feels like your inserts will actually be a better fit and stay in place more than the red and white standard "sausage kerbs"
I guess that I was fortunate enough that I broke a centre tab so not having it is not a problem and that insert is still well retained by the other 5 tabs. Of course I could have still used glue if I had broken more tabs.
As I was fiddling with fitting the first one I was beginning to wonder if gluing in the tab-less inserts was a better arrangement but as is usual, the first attempt was a learning experience and now I am a confident insert inserter!
I am not a Scalextric Sport fan but my interest in these deepened when I recently discovered that Scalextric/Hornby have now made the "Scalextric Start" curve sections to the same dimensions so these borders will fit that.
Many thanks, Leo
