Aftermarket solid shifter?

[SACTX]

Its looking good!

Is this a mount that you are going to make and sell us or will you have the DXF files for it?

Ive got mine cut down but that is about it... Still waiting for a frame to put it in!

I am still working the details on that. I wanted to get it 100% before I approach the machine shop that I know. I will also need to know how many of them we will be cutting, or an approximate.

If somebody is ready to go, I can share the DXF file And the CIX file that we used to cut it out.

I will take one for sure. If we wanna start a potential list so you have an idea.

 

[SACTX]

Yes, let’s start a list. I don’t think we are to a point to start a group buy thread but I can keep a running post for people who are interested.

Everyone else, reply or send me a private message to let me know. I will put you down on this list. Once I get an idea of actual cost I will start a separate group buy thread where we can confirm actual orders. This is just for interest and to try and get multiple done at one time to lower cost.

 

[Ark :D]

Confirming my interest, but an actual order will depend on the economics of it. If a 3D-printed base is viable and much cheaper, it makes more sense to go that route.

 

[WYGoblin]

Agree with Ark. If the economics are good for it I would be interested also.

 

[comegetjoe]

Agree with Ark. If the economics are good for it I would be interested also.

Same here.

 

[SACTX]

That’s all this list is for. The more people that are interested, the better the economics will be.

 

[Lokian]

I would be interested.

 

[JERMzSS]

Put me on the list please

 

[AZmoto]

Interested as well.

What is the list for? Machining the base? I have a large CNC I can cut them on no problemo if thats the case.

Nuker-

This is a list of people who are interested pending the actual pricing that we can put together. Our CNC is designed for wood but is capable of machining aluminum. I think some thing up to 3/4 of an inch thick would be pushing the limits of what our machine can do. I am going to cut out one more test piece from MDF to refine fitment and we should be ready to start machining them. If your machine is capable of cutting three-quarter inch thick aluminum, that would be a great help to get this done.

Well let me know, I have a large 4000lb industrial CNC I can cut that no problemo. Would be happy to cut the first aluminum after the MDF looks good.

[ATMironov]

I am interested. Put me on the list!

 

[Lando217]

Interested as well. I would like to be added to the list! Awesome job!

 

[SACTX]

I think this is the winner. 1/2 or so closer to the driver all the way back. 1 1/2” or so further all the way forward. Pretty well centered and the attachment holes are on the big side so it can be adjusted a little.

I have the rest of the parts I need to connect everything together on the way. I will drive this weekend with this one connected to make sure that everything works correctly before we move forward.

Looks fantastic, Looking forward to seeing it fully setup.

 

[TheNuker]

Can you tell me how big that base is so I can go ahead and order a 6061 plate for test cut.

Thanks!

What's the thread for the shift knob on this shifter I dont see it listed in the eBay listing

Nuker-

It is approximately 11 3/8 inches long by 6 inches wide. This is three-quarter inch MDF. We probably do not need to use three-quarter inch thick material but that would lower the shifter down a little bit so it may need to be shimmed up. It may need to be shipped up as it is because it is already going to sit lower the new stock shifter. I have some ideas on that if needed.
