Art - Will do - you want black 1 1/2" dia also?

Off the top of my head, stuff I've mentioned here:
Carbon hood, roof
aluminum Ttop filler panels
shift knobs
Koni hat tool
rear weight jacks for 2.5" ID springs (cut 'n paste required)
spacers for coilovers (gets front adjuster rings back to within 1/8" of each other for CMC)
spacers for wheels
spacers for OEM rear spring perches (and toss the floppy weight jacks)
Lexan rear spoiler
Setrab oil cooler bracket

I just hooked up with the wholesale arm of a major aftermarket retailer, have access to a huge catalog of parts. I can't quite compete pricewize with their retail prices, but charge only actual shipping and no handling charge. I also can't compete with the instant online order/ship process. I got the line mainly to support my race buildups but I'd like to broaden my customer base so if you have a need for something run it past me and I'll give you a price/delivery quote. ablaine (at) cruzio (dot) com

Other goodies in the works:
4th gen front airdam/splitter undertra
race steering column

and of course custom fabrication is my business, so let me know what you need

Sure, let's go with the 1 1/2" dia Camaro thread.

I'm cobbling something together on Chris' car at the moment but I'd love to see your solution. I'm sure it's better than what I'm creating. And I think that there's definitely a market for it.

Something for the gas pedal for heel to reasons.

Ever see the plastic gas pedal a guy built years ago over on LS1.com?

It was a piece of plastic that had "LS1" machined in the middle.

The guy had access to a CNC machine and made about 200 of them.

I still have mine ...

I had one of those, sold it to Pimpmaro and he loves it. I wear work boots a lot and drive with the seat all the way back, so I didn't have the "extra" room to put something on the gas pedal and still drive comfortably. It looked like it would have worked very well, if it would have worked for me.

Alan,

Any chance you know if a 3rd gen (T5) Hurst shifter is the same thread?

I just bought a spare T5 and it comes with a Hurst shifter without a knob, this ought to fit the bill well (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

TJ - I have a 3rd gen at the shop (2 actually), I'll check tomorrow. Just to make sure, see if your stock knob fits the Hurst.

I used a 4th gen knob on a 3rd gen Ripper in my '91. I think you're just fine.

I will likely get a black one......for a PRO5 shifter.....

It's starting to take shape shape, is going to be a real challenge to meet my design goals:
-adjustable height
-modular
-affordable

I've quit talking about dates



Thanks, Sam

I also checked a STi and Miata that are in the shop - they are a different thread than any of the GM cars. I have a car with a Ford drivetrain in the shop too, I should check it.





Randy - Paypal me $45 + $4 parcel post and I'll make one for you too. Let me know what diameter.

It should be a lot more comfortable to shift when using the stupid driver's cupholder (ie when a passenger is using the good cupholder) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Here is a 1.5" next to a stock cueball. Tops of shifter shafts are at the same level:

Mitch and Mark, your orders will ship later this AM.

Now, if I could just figure out how to convert a stock B/W T56 to a sequential shift ....

Howdy,



Hell, I'd be happy if I could convince it to shift at all!

:-)

I remember seeing a shifter quite a while ago that converted sequential shift motions on the shifter into the proper motions to shift a tranny normally... I _think_ it was for a toploader. Not sure if such a beast exists for a T5 / T56 style tranny.

Mark

Stang Killer - Did you send me an order? I delete a lot of spam and may have mistaken it if so.

Howdy,



Here it is:

And it doesn't look like it'll work without an external shift rod tranny...

I got a batch of them years ago from a friend who was building hi tech processing tanks and fume hoods. He called them the "El Pedal". He moved on to a different job w/o a CNC cell and quit making them. I'll take a look at the product and see if it makes sense to make them. My problem is that at a $20 sale price I would need to be able to make them in <15min ea, and that wouldn't happen unless I was making lots of them. I don't know if there is a market for 50 of these things, esp if there is a rice/dress up shop selling something similar for $15.




Depending an exchange rate, at $580AU it may be affordable - I wonder how well it works? I think a small close ratio 4sp could work well in an Fbod, and with a 7.25" clutch, shed about 100#. That would be an interesting project. I once designed/built a bracket that adapted a TKO to a C4 Corvette Cbeam. It held up to 550+ rwhp and was much lighter/cheaper than the ZF it replaced.

I've seen that site somewhere in a life long gone. I had forgotten about it altogether.

But, that would be a sweet deal ...

Alan .. put on your Mad Hatter swag and make it so ...
