Hi all well after over a year on an off I finally finished my project designing a replica ferrari style stick and shifter plate.
All started with a piece of mdf


Happy with the results brushed stainless steel and chrome plated gear stick and ball car is in a lock up so dull lighting but gear changes are great and fast with no changing issues only one too
Pull ring for reverse for now.
Too much time on my hands

Good work and good to see.
Did you mill the finished one?

That is quite some project, not sure to my taste, but impressive

What material are you using to close the gaps as the stick moves around?

Seats came up nice in blue

I take my hat off to anyone taking a project like this on, Does it shift through the gears slower than stock?

I've used a sheet of black felt that is flexible to hide the linkages but stays in place when changing gears.



The final brushed stainless steel plate is lazer cut from 5mm stainless steel then a fine gritt wet and dry and a final polish.



Moves through the gears surprisingly easy from any gear 5th to 2nd etc , will probably still need to get used to it though as with any of these types of set ups.

I think that is awesome really nice job that

Hello Patrickstar, can you reproduce the gear stick and the selector, or will be remain a secret?

Hi I have the drawings at a company so reproduction is no problem and i have gear sticks made. Only problem is if you get the threading wrong it may knock it all out of the plate measurements it really needs to be bespoke.
But it is possible.
didn't want to start a group buy because it's not straight forward and chopping of your gearshift is pretty much too late after.

I think it looks great.. ballpark cost?

It cost me £30 for the drawings from the lazer company, I had two mild steel plates cut by them for alterations purposes at £15 each and the brushed stainless steel final plate at £25.
The chrome gear knob was around £25 and the gearstick was a chrome bathroom type table think it was £20 and it gives me 5 sticks in total.
the gear plate surround was £15 then there were tap and die set and other bits jigsaws , routers etc.

Not bad if you amortised it over several..I might be interested if you do decide to do a group buy.

Yeh the initial layout was costly jigsaw etc for the mdf sample but they have earned me my money back doing my kitchen refurbished.
As for the finished parts it's around £100
Not to bad.

What is the difference between the first and the second version of the selector?
Why did you make two version?
The secondo one seems to be more "tight".

Doese the first one work well as the second?

The first one was mesured for the original gearstick, so when I changed the gear shaft there was a big difference in spaceing.
