My VS brake upgrade thread - http://www.commodoresplus.com.au/forums/topic/vs-brake-upgrades/November 12, 2015 at 12:44 pm #11162So gents my CNC machined leather stamp is complete, PM me if you are interested in a re-pro knob. If you have a knob already great, if not I can source one off ebay etc (or you can do this yourself).
November 12, 2015 at 12:59 pm #11164Such a great idea… Good luck with it you going to start actually selling these rather than just taking orders?

Will throw a few up on ebay once I’m confident of the finished product. I’ve got one guy who is first cab off the rank and I’m doing one for myself and one for Gary.
November 12, 2015 at 1:12 pm #11170I have a spare horn pad off a vr hsv if you want to take the design off that if needed too?

Happy with that!! Yep great work, cant wait to see it, did you see the guy selling the original stamp?
November 12, 2015 at 2:45 pm #11176Now im confused what would you do with it being an auto, are you going to try adapt it onto your Shifter?

Posts: 5 777Well, one day I was thinking of going a sequential manual, so i thought i would keep it for that, but tbh I have literally just had my first drive with the glide and am in love! So I am starting to wonder about fitting the manual HSV knob to the pro ratchet for a really nice stealth sort of look, which I reckon would be in keeping with the look of the car.
Don’t worry, not surprised I have confused you, I have this weird ass grand master plan in my head but its subject to change without notice!!
November 12, 2015 at 2:57 pm #11178All makes sense ha,, I reckon that could look really good to hope you pull it off actually. That drop box i linked you too come up nice
I thought you may have just been like me and had an odd obsession with hoarding specific vs parts ha ha

Posts: 5 777Stay tuned too, I have this (I think) nice idea for the shifter surround too, but want to get it home and play with it first.
November 12, 2015 at 3:04 pm #11181The one being sold was the wrong size. It was too big and won’t sit on the knob properly. It was the size required to stamp the horn pad. I feel a bit sad for the person that paid $700 for it as it won’t work. In addition the gear knobs do not have the pronounced circle around the symbol like that stamp has. Again shows its for the steering wheel.

Yep
November 13, 2015 at 10:34 am #11234Did my first stamp last night. Worked nicely
T5 knob on its way so hopefully by end of next week I’ll have my first one.
November 13, 2015 at 10:46 pm #11263What would the pricing be for one of these? If you don’t mind me asking
November 14, 2015 at 11:08 am #11275Depends on whether you are supplying the knob or not.
November 17, 2015 at 7:44 pm #11391November 18, 2015 at 9:41 am #11403Looking good
