Scalextric / Slot Car Replacement Crash Barriers

While packing away the scalextric track we found quite a lot of the crash barriers where broken and needed replacing, so I was looking around the garage to see what I could use and found that cable trunking may work so I gave it a try and here's how I did it.

Materiels and Tools

50 mm or 25 mm wide cable trunking (white)
150 grit sandpaper
Pliers
Stanley knife or sharp knife
Junior hack saw blade or hack saw
Scalextric crash barrer
Scalextric corner piece
Loctite superglue

Using an existing crash barrier as a guide slide it along the trunking so that both the crash barrier and trunking meet at one end and saw until you have created a score mark or more, bend til it snaps off.

Using a stanley knife or craft knife score along the channel / edge and once scored over a few times bend back with the pliers and snap off.

Use the 150 grit sandpaper to take any rough edges off and round all the corners.

Cut another length of barrier and split it down the middle along the length.

Measure about 10mm wide and cut with a blade of junior hack saw , score with a stanley knife or craft knife and snap off. You will require two tabs to hold the barrier.

Take a plastic tab and click it into place along the outer curve and then using your finger and thumb bend the tab over so that it sticks up.

Using the red crash barrier as a guide, roughly position the tabs and glue them to the main barrier.
