EP3 Solid shifter bush Sizes , making my own

[Spike85]

Hi all I've got access to a good machine shop and want to make some shifter bushes. Will test them on our track car to see how they go.

got all the material needed and machines. Just after any sizes or measurements.

Nothing to do with cost but more of a LIKE TO HAVE A GO.

Any help or sizes would be appreciated. Even if it's just the engine bay ones

:smt023 Thats well neat mate
Have you thought about making battery tie holder
That'll be a good project

 

[Spike85]

Yea I'd like to have a go, shouldn't be to hard just need dimensions , could take mine off to do that. Just hoping before some fits the bushes they would take some measurements for me.

Thank you

 

[Spike85]

Or another option is to make some on a 3D printer or Nylon, just need some sizes to give it a go

 

[Hamza Type R]

3D Printers are good piece of Equipment to design stuff,quite pricey aren't they

 

[Spike85]

Yea normally, got access to one though but not sure which would be best nylon or Ali with some O-rings

 

[Hamza Type R]

Nylon would be strong and durable material,you could try them both

 

[Spike85]

Once I get some dimensions I'll make some. Going to measure tie bar tonight for battery and make one tommorow

 

[Spike85]

still after the dimensions for the shifter bushes. going to try and get a spare selector and cables if i can to take to work. few breakers local

Got a custom battery tie currently underway. one machined in Ali and one I'm Trialling which is Top secret

 

[Hamza Type R]

Cant wait to see the battery tie project

 

[Spike85]

Hopefully will be close by the end of the week as will be busy next few days so by Wednesday I'll get back on it , that's if it works out like planned

 

[Spike85]

Managed to machine a Conrod to see how it looks for a battery tie , 5mm thick now , got to finish/Detail it and drill the holes. But here's a quick look









its is a complete random idea never seen it done so won't be to everyone's taste but it's just an idea but happy for suggestions or criticism

 

[Jo5h]

I think you could get a good market for those to be fair, looks very well made.

 

[Spike85]

Thanks mate going to get it polished and tidied up and drilled then have a final fit see how it looks

 

[Hamza Type R]

That is exclusive right there

 

[Spike85]

Cheers dude , will be back on it tommorow , should be done by the evening. Trial fit soon

Interesting idea on the battery tie! I'd try selling a few.

 

[Hamza Type R]

I'd buy one if Spike decides to fabricate and start selling exclusive battery ties

 

[Spike85]

I'll have to see how this one finishes up , took some doing so far
