..that is handy with measuring equipment? i would like to fabricate a hitch receiver like the oem one (attaches with 4 bolts to the rear bumper support) so i can use it for a bike rack. my old celica had the reciever installed when i bought it, but i took it off for looks and then sold it with the car.
additionally, i'd like to make a shift knob that is the same basic dimensions as the TRD knob that comes with the quickshifter, but i've never actually had one. i have a quickshifter, but not the knob. if i can get the dimensions (overall height, thread depth, counterbore depth, diameters, etc.), i'll be machining it out of delrin, and if the results are good enough i may even elect to make a handful. neither of these are life or death issues, and even high-res photos would help alot. thank youse guys! -------------------- ![]() do you know who i am, mr. worley? |

QUOTE(97lestyousay @ Jan 18, 2008 - 7:29 PM) [snapback]632161[/snapback] Delrin seems kind of spendy and not as stable to hot and cold temp as abs? Just curious why you chose it? i've never worked abs before. delrin machines pretty nicely from my experience, and we've got a bit of a surplus at the moment. if abs would be a better choice, i'm glad to take input...especially since i know you know what you're talking about!

I'll take it off sometime and get some measurements if you want. that's awesome! like i said, it's not a life or death matter, even a couple of medium to high-res photos would help me out a alot. thanks, man! -------------------- ![]() do you know who i am, mr. worley? |
