that's the one I need, too - unless I keep the old sticker for confusion of thieves ;)

/husband pipes in: "how about you put the new transmission in before you buy the sticker :rolleyes:"
 
I just had some 4 speed shift plates printed on metal so I have ten I dont need. I would recommend spraying them with clear lacquer so they keep longer. These are not drilled i am selling them for 14 dollars shipping is by mail. If interested pm me.
 
great item, ordered my 3 speed today.
 
This is the plate, that I need also.

Great looking plates.

Ditto that good sir.

Steve, THAT'S THE TICKET! Although on 60s and 62s with Georg's twin stick conversion, there is no automatic engagement of the front driveline since the solenoids are taken out of the equation.

Claudia, my wife said the exact same damn thing to me :bang:

Alright, I think this version is a bit more like the way a Twin-Stick behaves with a splitcase and manual hubs (which my rig has). It is a blend of the Twin Stick, Five Speed and Four Speed versions Shane has produced previously. Thoughts anyone? Shane?

Looks spot on to me. I'd be up for one if they get produced.

Then I just gotta find Toyota-looking knobs for my twin sticks :D
 
Trying to squeeze 2wd and 4wd into little circles is problematic. For this plate, I would lose the circles for those two labels in favor of clearly readable 2WD and 4WD with a simple vertical line between them

This is correct and I agree. I've enlarged them to get a clear WD and it looks goofy.

The other big issue is the aluminum plate. I use brushed and the same to OE. CCOT and CC use a thin smooth or bright finish. Which is 10x easier and little waist. With the heavy brushed is the much finer screens for printing to produce a crisp edge and then another step that bonds the ink to the plate (secret)

Also using a plate that 3x as thick in comparison to CC and CCOT is 3x the cost.
 
Why not just enlarge all five for the twin stick area so they're equal and the "WD" is easily readable?
 
At some point we need to go to print ;)

I know we are "smithing" this to death, but here is a more readable version of the 2 and 4 as in WD.

Too late to get in on the group buy?

If not too late, I would like to purchase one of these H55 Twin Stick plates. I'll buy whatever the latest version is that you make...but my preference is with the "wd" included. Thanks!
 
Looking for one of the final 5sp Twin Stick designs when available :)
 
Been talking to my guy this morning. Ill update and get a count before I run them.
