Dressed up the interior a little bit I got sick of my stock shifter and didn't wanna pay $26 for the WS6store short shifter so I made my own yesterday. Looks identical to the one WS6 store offers but it didn't cost me anything but an hour in the machine shop at school.
Compared to a pic of the Ws6store shifter:
Threads:
Milled section:
Next to my stock shortened shifter:
Not bad for a highschool student working with 29yr old lathes and mills. My threads kinda look shitty since the cutter I used was a little dull but it works. I also have a piston shifter **** to put on but haven't drilled and tapped it yet. Anyone got any ideas of stuff I could make? I really like machining and want to get some more hours on the lathes and especially the mill. I need an independent project so something kinda challenging would be cool. I have access to CNC's and solidworks as well.
