Noz Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Anyone ever made something like this? If there's enough interest, I'll make one to fit OEM plastic surround. I know it's square, I'll make one that fits so don't go by the Manual photo, looking to make an Auto version. I really like the idea, thought I'd gauge feedback before I invest money into this.

evinX Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Im in, been waiting for the americans to come up with one for a while as they are into this kinda stuff. Dont make it too thick, same contour and thickness as the dash rings with a push fit would be good. Polished please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 It'll have to have some thickness to it. As I'll be worried it'll deform during machining. Would be able to do a few cool designs with this. I'll begin to mock up a design. Itll be push fit though yes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Lol Currently modelling this, hence why I asked you Noz in the other thread whether you had your own CNC machine and would quote on some work, but got no reply :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inazone Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yes I am interested in this! Still not got round to fitting your other parts I bought... Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't mean to ignore you pal. How are you modelling it. You just measuring it? - - - Updated - - - Yes I am interested in this! Still not got round to fitting your other parts I bought...

Burna Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Oh sorry dude! Didn't mean to ignore you pal. How are you modelling it. You just measuring it? No worries, I miss posts all the time I'm actually concentrating on the shifter face itself, but at some point I have a feeling I might have to model the dash piece that mates to it. Not easy shapes to measure up and model I'm sure you agree, would be a hell of a lot easier if I could laser scan them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brassbones Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Can't quite envisage what you are replacing on the auto shifter here. Would you lose the lit up gear numbers bit for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Can't quite envisage what you are replacing on the auto shifter here. Would you lose the lit up gear numbers bit for example? It'll just be a surround. The middle section will remain the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Would make a nice christmas pressie when they going to be available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Not sure it'll be that quick! I am design it to be slot fitment and I want it perfect so I would say it's going to be a month. But if people continue to show interest I'll ensure I push and get this made. Every item I make costs me a small fortune in money and time. But this seems like no one else makes them. So worst a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Defo, i had this idea in the back of my mind for a while as they look great on manuals and will do for autos. Remember evinX wants one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Got the Auto surround in 3D. Now I'll begin designing different style bezels to place onto the face. Will be doing a basic design to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 You should model them all, and get someone to 3d print replacement dash panels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 You should model them all, and get someone to 3d print replacement dash panels If someone could start doing that they'd never have to work again! Good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Problem with 3D printing is, the surface if never perfectly smooth, then the OEM guys would want original coatings Cant wait to see the bezel designs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chriss Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The auto surround shape seems like it will be difficult to work with, are we expecting something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Yes. Exactly that. I'm having difficulties with the design at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
