hi all, just wondering if anyone had any comments on my latest creation out of boredom, i decided to make some alloy indicator and head light stalks as the plastic ones aren't too great, so i took measurements and made this one on the lathe.

anyway ..........what does everyone think? is it naff, is it cool, do you want to buy one? if so what would you want to pay?
any comments are welcome, do you like the design?

if its a hit i might refine the design a bit an get them on eBay





Thanks Again

Glen

But if i was you, i'd just do the one pair and leave it at that.

Beautiful, they could you a bit busy

I've just ordered some more aluminium, so when that comes, i can find out how long it takes me to machine up a pair and then price them accordingly, Screech why do you say that?

[screech]

Screech why do you say that?

Just thats what i would do thats all, as they are the only ones and you would get non stop questions asking where you got them etc.

[mini_glen]

hmmm.. Ok thanks for your input, but there's no reason why i couldn't make a more intricate pair for myself and sell the simpler ones? .....no?

[lowandslow]

i dont think there gonna be cheap im affraid, they look simple, but it took quite a bit of math and know-how to get the switching mechanism inside it to work, and without it electrocuting you. it depends on how long it takes me to machine a pair now that i know how to do it and material cost.
