REPLICA GEAR SHIFT KNOBS (3 Viewers)

[Honger]

The lacquer thinner actually removed the white from the white look of the laser etching on the aluminum... at least that's what I think happened. In any case, it made the patterns look more aluminum like and with the clear coat it is just gorgeous man. I absolutely love the feel of the solid billet over the plastic-coated rubber OEM part.

That's very interesting as the laser only dyes out the black pigment, thus leaving it white. Therefore as it is pourous it wil collect the dirt from your hands. Noticing this you cleaned(wiped) it down with liquor thinner which cleaned the dirt but left a silvery/ aluminum type finish without effecting the black numbers!!?? I don't know what happens, but the end result is awesome.

Have you tried using PCB etchant to etch the shift pattern on the knob?

I learned this from knife building and customizing. I'm not sure it'll work with aluminum and anodizing but it might give a somewhat cool finish? I don't know.

I don't have a 40/60 but those retro shift knobs would look pretty damn cool in newer LC's, kind of like heritage. Specially if you can make a matching set of 5 speed + twin sticks (H-N-L and 2WD-4WD)

Got my 5 speed shifter knob installed.
Shot it with Imron clear coat. I need to polish it a bit more!

Thanks!!!

These knobs are awesome!

Also up for a H55F and scaled down twin-stick set.

Just ordered the 5 speed, black w/white numbers and M12x1.25 threads. Up for the twin stick setup if/when there is enough interest.
Thanks for making this happen!

Got my shifter knobs!! They look great Keith, thank you very much! @Diesel42 Just throwing a few coats of clear on them to keep them clean as recommended.

Found a brass thread reducer M12x1.25 OD to M8x1.25 ID for my transfer case knob. I just ordered it and will report back on the quality. It has no lip so it can seat all the way.

Got a knob in the mail. Are you out of the black knobs with white numbers?

 

[bugsnbikes]

I think i got a rare misprint version.

 

[Diesel42]

Our Lancruisers are speedy, got to be careful with that pedal!

Thanks!

I’m guessing you are out of the Toyota 5 speed shift pattern?

Here’s what we have left from the order. Several transfercase knobs that can still be lasered. A couple 4spd knobs , and two specials that someone asked for yet never bought. Any of the blank ones can be later with anything someone wants. I should say we can have them done by another company( they usually cut us a pretty good deal as we tradeoit some labor, seems they charged us somewhere around$30.00 to complete a special design).
So here’s what left frombthe last member order. As most know we have done a number of LC parts just for members here. We don’t offer anything outside these forum. We have some more pictures under photos on Jefferson State Machining /Facebook.

Ok, put me down for a Toyota 5 speed shift pattern next go around.
Thanks for an awesome product!

I’d be in for a 5 speed (for a h151f) and 80 series transfer case one, if they are availible again. Awesome product!
