anyone interested in handbrake covers??

[CSL]

hello,
i was thinking about manufacturing a small batch of handbrake covers.
they will be CNC'd turned out of billet aluminum. Custom designs are welcome, i.e if you preferer a knurl or just some grip lines.
but they will be a great addition asthetically.
Cause i was loocking in my car today and with the B&M rather shifter the black handbrake cover looks out of place.
I quickly turned one up today on the centre lathe to get an idea
let me know what you think and what you would pay for em
Cheers
Chris

oh and think grub screw

[stockvp]

how bout if you turn out a woman figure for me ill grab one

[1991_Vn2nV]

How easy will they be to attach securely to the handbrake?

[CSL]

i'll get this one on and take a few pics tomoz, it easy just twist your old one off (i had to use multigrips) slide it on and tighten grub screw

[Just_a_stocker]

throw up some pics of one fitted, lets see how they look

looks like thewy need a button in the end,
personally i think the standard ine are a bit drab

[CSL]

couldnt finish it up, power at work was non exsistant and has a short day,
the black button should poke throu the top, get some pics soon

[CSL]

heres some pics,
i'm unsure about it thou, mabye i'll make some buttons, it could be done, but then thats another setup and program, tell me what you think

[1991_Vn2nV]

Needs a button I think

[alexp36]

That looks awesome. What sort of price you lookin at?

[HoldenManDan]

hey man, this is something i knocked up in 5 mins on paint shop, to the description that i wrote in the other thread in parts for sale. the button is black in the pic only for contrast.



Just an idea atm, but what sorta $$ for that?

Cheers

hey mate... they look good.

but can i ask what the go is with the auto shifter? why cut the console and expose half the shifter? i just think they look really agricultural.

[azkwazere]

ummmmm... its a pro ratchet shifter... you HAVE to cut to fit it in.... read- not standard.

aZk.

[r_i_d_a_h]

...cause thats the only way he could fit the shifter

[r_i_d_a_h]

beat me to it azk

[azkwazere]

cheers for the feedback lads, i finally worked out a good way to make the buttons, the pictures are not the clearest cause of the sun, but you get the idea,
i'll put it in for a quote tommorow,

Holdenmandan,
mate that wouldnt be a problem and it wouldnt be much if anything more over standard design, once i get the main body programed and set the detailed bit arnt the biggest thing,

as for the shifter, i got a drop box made up instead of the usual setup, think it sits alot better

[johnnythaboy]

gday, how did ya get on with these, csl? they look cool as

[m3taL]

I'll put my hand up.... Not sure on pricing though... i guess thats your call. But they Look Sweet as. Thumbs Up

Also Side note, do you know what the Holes in the Surround around your Shifter are looks like some kind of bracket or sothing... Just mine has the Identical Hole patterns in it... never seen it before...

[criten]

I'm interested in the button replacement you made... mine is missing

Handle looks nice, but wouldn't it get a little hot if you parked in the sun for a few hours? Probably a little cold too overnight if you park in icicle land like I do (Blue Mts), but I guess you only gotta drop it down and then it doesn't matter

[m3taL]

Good Point in that, iv got a Stainless Skull Gear Knob and i only use it in Spring and autumn too hot and too cold in other months... learned the hot bit the hard way....
