heyitsrama Posted March 1, 2019 Share #13 Posted March 1, 2019 @Captain Obvious i still have my old skateboard deck cut into pieces and glued in stacks in attempt to make something like this, i dont have access to a lathe, would you be able to turn them for me? Would pay you for the trouble. I just like the way the wood looks, but like the shape of the OEM Z ones more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Custom Hand Crafted" And, like so many of my projects, that's why it's hard to charge what they're really worth. If someone is looking for a concourse quality repro that even at relatively close examination is indistinguishable from a stock original, then I have painstakingly made a couple of those. But there's no way I could ever make any money doing it. I just don't think pockets are that deep! Haha!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably get a bunch of shift knobs out of it? https://gb.letgo.com/en/i/rawlings-multi-colored-baseball-bat_7c62a427-ff6c-47ae-83cd-c3180a35b7f2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapriser Posted March 2, 2019 Share #17 Posted March 2, 2019 Does anyone have the diameter of the shift map insert? This is something I may be able to reproduce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted March 2, 2019 Share #18 Posted March 2, 2019 It's about an inch diameter. Are you a mold maker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Prototype Engineer and have access to some 3d printers and machining tools. Would be a pretty easy part to make with the 3d lettering on the shift map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
