Custom Billet Shift Knob BS

Forgot that I mentioned my shift ball in here. It is all finished, and I have even made others for some members here.

I'm just going to use my abandoned build thread for this (original thread was locked due to being marked SOLD), but here is the current list for seat spacers ...
Obligatory @tonered tag.

Current list:

I ordered another wave of material, so there will be enough to cover everybody (and then some).

 

Oh gawd. That has only been a month.

It was weird because I wasn't getting any post notifications for it anyway.


It might be worth asking a mod to at least post a link to here?

 

Yeah, I'll have to ask about that.

Also talking to a buddy who might be able to duracoat them black. I'd do it if I wasn't already burning the candle at both ends, but I'll have to wait until he gets me some numbers for that to see if it is practical.

 

I just got a PM from @Ynot050. He said that he just finished printed his own, so he does not need the metal version. I sent him a link to Post 22 just in case.

 

Also .... engraving on these spacers is entirely possible. You can check my shift knob threads for examples.

I am testing duracoat over engraving on scrap stock to see how much build up there will be for a custom knob order, so I will have that answer soon I hope.

 

subbed for updates

 

I plan to work a full day on spacers this coming Saturday, so I will surely have a few sets available soon for those who want the raw aluminum blocks.

 

Did you happen to get feedback from the first person?

I don't know why this just popped into my head, but this would be one spot where a Taco Truck symbol would be just hilarious.

 

Nope, haha. I literally just dropped them off at the post office 5 minutes ago.

I figure absolute worst case, if the counterbore I added creates any mounting issues(shouldn't) ... I can just make washers to fill the void. That is all I was worried about, everything else is proven.

 

Cool! Just anxious to hear about folks experiences with these. Heck, I'm still excited that my wife is comfortable with them.

 

works for me. thankfully its a payday week.

 

When can I place my order?

 

Wish I could take orders, but I do my best to adhere to site rules with that. I should probably have a conversation with a mod at some point to make sure I'm not pointlessly hurting my own sales by taking things *too* seriously.

But really, I try to uphold their value of protecting the members here from having money tied up on empty promises from shitty opportunists. In time, I will become a legitimate vendor (need a business license first) and things can change with regard to orders.

I do take orders via direct email, but I also only allow myself 3 items per week and plan to stack no more than 3 weeks into the future just to keep myself from becoming buried.

If I did this full time it would be completely different, but this is my spare time we're talking about. Also, some of the machines(not the ones I have at home, obviously) I depend on can be unavailable for up to a week at a time. I am in charge of them, but the priority always goes to other jobs and not my personal stuff. Most members here are pretty understanding about this, but I can never count on that.

It is becoming more and more apparent every single day that I will never, ever have inventory of finished product. Yet, I cannot take orders ... weird spot to be in, but it's not as bad as it sounds.

One day at a time, communicate .. try to keep everyone happy within reason.

 

Hello I need one set of those, please let me know how to order them.

Thanks

 

I'll put you on the list, and I will go in a top to bottom order. Each will have a day to respond before I move to the next, and if the skipped person replies 3 days later they can jump on the next available set. That fair? I expect some on the list will bail, if my shift knob holds taught me anything.

I don't do lists like this anymore for my knobs, but I will give it a shot for these since I do not think it will attract many impulse buyers (who tend to change their minds pretty often). I figure, if you bail on a set of seat spacers (more a quality of life improvement than impulse buy), it is probably going to be for a good reason.

Open for suggestions, as always. Just spitballin'

 

Hello, where sis you get the black fenders? I have been looking for them, all I get are the ones with the rivets, which I don't like. I want to replace my white ones for black ones. Please let me know.

Thanks

 

If you give me your paypal email I will pay for them now. Please send me the invoice to jcatedral33@gmail.com with the shipping to PR 00739 included.

Thanks!!!

 

They are stock Toyota flares, textured black part numbers are in this post. There is also a trade thread in the 3rd Gen parts section, and I'm sure you will have luck there swapping with another member.

For reasons outlined in post #34, I cannot take your money until the parts are completed.
