BJ41/BJ44 Japanese Shift pattern plate

[Folkert]

Sorry for cross posting... I'm posting this here as well, since i got no feedback on my thread in the 40-55 section..

My Japanese BJ41/BJ44 Shift pattern plates are in!!
After some hard work reproducing these nice and iconic plates, they are finally finished. Took me a few days cleaning up the scans and convert the artwork into vector. But the result is as I hoped for, or even better..

This is a 100% correct plate cut from the right 0.5mm sheet aluminum, very softly brushed. The print is laser etched in a beautiful solid black.
I did not let the company drill the holes, to make sure the holes will not be misaligned in comparison with the glove box door. better to do it myself.

As you can see I ordered a bit more than I need , so if anyone is interested, let me know.
-------------

Unfortunately because of the low quantity, they are not as cheap as the US versions seen on the web..
They will cost 55 dollar/40 euro each, excluding postage. And I'm not even making any profit in this, just helping out other cruiser lovers.

You won't be disappointed, I'm very picky and even I was surprised with the quality and the 100% perfect resemblance with the original.
Would be a nice upgrade to your JDM cruiser, or just cool to have in your collection of JDM Cruiser gadgets.!!! They are for the 4 speed BJ41 and BJ44 for sure... not sure about the later BJ40 or early bj42

-------------------

Will show you how i install this beautiful plate on my cruiser next week.

Very Nice!

I'd be all over this, but I have an h55 now and am thinking of getting a plate made with that pattern on it. I may still decide to keep it stock when I do my rebuild this winter... I'm keeping a close eye on your build to keep my plans in line.

Ditto.

Amazing, but word for word ditto.

haha, darn, I invested in the wrong part it seems..... when I get rid off these, I might get into creating a 5 speed version for you upgrade guys...
but first need to see if I can get my investment back...

ow tobash, could you please add your rig to the registry as well..?.

I see you're active again but I didn't want to clutter up your other thread with this:

Do you have any more info on these or are they still available? Especially a 5 speed one

I dont have these anymore but maybe a new rum would be interesting if i have enough people who want one, maybe i could set up an order list.
