Shift knobs!?

[MissRay]

You are correct. I recall having this conversation with one of the guys i work with. He is a big RC toy junkie, in his 50s... so passionate about it. Thats exactly what he was saying about bushings.

What I meant is start with aluminum to make a test piece.
I also wonder... Does that bushing go out on a lot of them. I seen the lever of a few cars and it seemed fine? Whats the reason to make one?

My thoughts were to make it wide enough to replace the shims also. But yes, I have seen plenty worn shifters, especially if the shims or other shifter parts needed to be replaced and weren't.

Tons of people are looking to add more precision to their shifters. I would replace all my shifter parts with brass if they were available. I think a brass bushing for the lower shifter connection that eliminated the need for the yellow shims could be a cheaper alternative to a DSSR.

Well I did that to my car. All bushings remade by me. But its now so stiff. I haven't driven the car long enough to get used to it. But I will write that idea down.

The shifter bushings or just all the bushings period?

I could send the exact dimensions and pay you to make a one off piece :)

[Frankensteined]

I have all the pieces. Already working on making something.

make a spacer/adapter for the m20-m50 tps sensor. A guy was making em a couple months back, I'd buy one right off the bat since im in need of one.

Could you make this where it only has a single outlet? I'm currently running the coolant pipe completely capped off except I have one hose running to my coolant expansion tank. Just simplifying. The m42 crowd would love this but they may want to have two outlets so they can keep their heater.
I would like something like this in aluminum or brass.

I like the coolant block off plate
depending on price of course

524td manifold adapters similar to the ones MonkeyMadness made

I second the M50 tps adapter

Mocked something up. Tomorrow will try to make a test piece.
As soon as I make it I will make adjustments to it.
Its a combination of everything i have seen on the internet.

So I talked to someone at work about making all the shifter bushings out of brass until I get my lathe all set up. Hopefully everything works out and prices will be decent.

On it!

Its 12$. Why not just buy that one?

its cosmetic only. I will probably make a kit that includes the fitting to do the bypass. That is if enough interest. Will probably be about 25$

He stopped making them? Sucks. I have a set. I dont have a plasma cutter to make them. For the price he had them for, it was a deal.. I will look into it.

Im back, sorry I took a while... Work, holidays and family...

Finally had a chance to run a test piece and bam! It worked on the first try.
Its functionality looks to be right on. Measurements are good.
What do you guys think about what it looks like? I might change the design as it looks bulky to me, but its not a visible part once everything is installed on the car so I might not matter.

If I get good feedback I will start running a first batch.

[pandaiswong]

Looks good man. How much are you planning to sell for? It looks like it could be a bit thinner, but depending on what stock you're using it might not be worth it.

[Frankensteined]

The sensor area cannot be any thinner because thats how far the sensor will slide down the shaft.
The outer ears could probably be thinner but it would be more machining time and it would work as is.
I tried to address the adjustment holes because I know some ppl online asked about that.

Price to be determined, Considering design/programing, machine time, material, packing and shipping, and that VAC sells one for s14 for $100
