stickers are ready!

i have attached a pic of the produced stickers as sent to me form Dave (the guy who had them made for us).

i have not been able to do a second test of the stickers as i am going away on holidays next week and won't get them in time to do a test.

but.. the guy has 10 sets and it looks like he will put them up on eBay when he can. i will post a link to the eBay page when its up.

they look good in the photos and he has changed the finish to matte and the colour to match our buttons :)

I have a black interior, I'll take one set of stickers - How much will they cost?

(apologies if I missed a thread that detailed the cost)

Merry Christmas,

Vic

just to update and remind everyone

this is NOT a group buy, you cannot order these sets from me. i am helping the guy who makes them with the design, he will be selling them from eBay when they are done

i recieved the latest test batch, and installed them.

the sizes are still a little bit short on some buttons and the colour is not 100% perfect, but a final set is being made to get these little points right.

i have attached photo's of how the last batch looks.

i would expect a couple of weeks and they will be ready to go and for sale on eBay. i will post the link when its available.

just a reminder to all those who did not read the whole thread but are posting that they want to buy a set

1) the sets are being developed, will be a couple of weeks to get the colour/finish/sizing perfect

2) when they are ready i will send YOU a PM telling you

3) i will send and post up a link to the eBay page where they will be sold from

thanks,

Warren

i forgot to mention.. the bottom buttons will most likely be the same size as the top buttons and will have to be trimmed to fit so that they are not too small.

also you can see that the buttons are too grey now, will be changed to black with a matte finish

i also posted a pic with the lights on to show that light does come through

if this guy is in perth why doesnt someone from perth go to meet him and give him the shape of the buttons exactly.. and then he can sell them as a perfect overlay.

i dont have a v35 otherwise i would have already volunteered

ok i recieved an email today from the guy, and they are ready for sale.

now as i mentioned they are not all the right size, but can be trimmed with scissors to fit perfectly.

on the issue of colour, apparently the only way to get them to be durable and UV protecting is to have them the gloss colour, which is what has been done by the guy. i think it looks better than the matte finish which looked more like a dark grey than black.

they are $18 + $1 postage and available on eBay:

can i iterate that i have nothing to do with their sale or distribution i am essentially a middle man that is facilitating the seller to get the information to make these. he has mad ethem and is selling them himself.

anyone that wants a set feel free to log onto eBay and purchase or ask the seller any questions if they need any further information

cheers,

Warren

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
