I designed and had a couple of these made for my Vewlix’s recently. I’ve had requests to make some more and so I’ve put some extra work in to make them compatible with more OEM Vewlix monitors and replacement displays.
I’ve been though quite a few design revisions and three physical versions to get to this point. No doubt the kit may evolve slightly over time but I think I’m now at a point to get some more kits out into the wild.
I do have some more ideas for additional adjustments but all of the kits have fit spot on during testing and so I don’t want to over complicate the design if it’s not required. One of the advantages of a modular design means that individual parts can be swapped out without needing to redesign or replace the whole kit.
Monitor Compatibility.
So far, the kits have been fitted to the OEM monitor assemblies listed in the spreadsheet below. The monitor assemblies listed were in Vewlix F, C, AMI L and Diamond Blue. However you need to check the monitor assembly in your own cab as it’s a possibility that yours may have been swapped out at an earlier point in its life.
There is also a table that details the replacement monitors that have been fitted with the kit to date.
These are by no means exhaustive lists and both tables will continue to be populated as more data and feedback is received. If you want to know if an unlisted OEM monitor and/or a unlisted replacement monitor will fit then please drop me an email at sales@definedvectordesign.com or and I can work with you to check it out.

The kits are carefully wrapped and shipped in made to measure double wall kraft cardboard boxes to ensure they reach you in perfect condition.
All of the shipping methods I have selected are fully trackable.
I have used a number of comparison websites to find the most economic carrier. Please see the following spreadsheet for up to date shipping prices:
[VUMM Shipping Costs]
A few people have asked me about shipping multiple kits internationally. The base prices I'm getting from the comparison websites are not too bad but the amount they charge for additional insurance on multiple kits is crazy. I had a brief look earlier and I might be able to get better rates by going directly to UPS. I just need to check out the insurance details with them. I'll update when I have more info.
Shipping insurance:
The spreadsheet lists prices with and without insurance. If insurance is not purchased then I am unable to make a claim for a lost or damaged parcel.
Ordering:
Please check the availability notes in the section above.
To register your interest for a VUMM kit please fill in all of the details on the online form [here].
If there becomes enough interest to fulfil a run I will then email everyone to see if you're still interested. If there is still enough interest I'll then send you a Paypal invoice based on the details you have provided (No of VUMM kits required + No of corner bracket kits required + shipping destination).
I can't give an ETA at this stage as I don't know how long it will take for the list to fill but currently sits at ~40% filled.
