Noz Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Re-designed these to have square corners and only include radius on the outer buttons. Thought it would give a more effective and clean look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 OCD alert... You've also corrected the slash in the "A/C " button - on the OEM button, the very bottom of the slash is in line with the very bottom of the A and C. On your first steel prototype it's extended (as it is in most typefaces, so understandable), but that sort of thing would annoy me... because that means it's not a stainless version of the OEM button and is therefore just wrong.

Noz Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 See where your coming from steve, but I'm not making OEM steel buttons, Im making custom buttons. The designs are also slightly different in comparison. I want to freshen them up. Replicating the OEM look goes out the window when you use steel as a front cover OCD man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Lol its ok dude. All opinions welcome. The more the better, nice to know what people think. Though these are probably just for myself and maybe a few sets but not many as these will be a PITA on a god-like level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsct1069 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Put me down for one of the few sets. Think these are going to be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 If they work out good I will need some in my life haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 I hope so guys! I think making the jigs will be tricky. I already have some designs in my head so I can smooth the face flat perfect on each one, as adjusting the face may alter the button face. Im sure I can design something up.

Noz Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Not laid out excatly as the dash panel is positioned, but near enough. Nee to make some jigs up now to fit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dsct1069 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I really, really need these. You can have my money, my jim'll fixit badge or even my wife. Actually forget the last one.. I want a full set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Had a bit of bad luck getting custom stuff done lately but taking the buttons to work tomorrow to measure up for my custom jigs as my custom stainless guy is back supplying my with bits. Bit of work to make them all fit the same but shouldn't be much of a job just time and effort. Depending how easy the first set is will depend how many more il do. Still got a pillar to finish and a fuse lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 So, time to get back onto my custom projects and finish all the job's I started. I've just finished drawing up dimensions for the jigs to re-work the buttons surface to enable me to attach the custom buttons. Its going to be a length job prepping each one. Though I think it's going to look pretty awesome once finished. I've still a triple pod to finish as well. I'm in the shed later cleaning up some wings Ive sold, I'll see what other un finished projects I need to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradleyh_15 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Watching with great interest as well! Good work dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Whats the matter with your buttons? Have you lost some. I will do mine and then assess how good the jigs were, and maybe alter them and design new ones. I will probably make a couple sets, but not many. The time to make these won't make them attractive to most people. As with all my stuff, I just about break even. Watching with great interest as well! Good work dude! Thanks mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 can i still get in on this noz? been waiting for something like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Im interested in these too :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Let me see how I get on first guys. I won't know how much work is involved until I do it. I will probably make a couple sets just to share the love. I'm limited to the number of items I can sell as a hobbyist. If I come up with a new idea I'll only sell a couple sets at cost I can't supply these are an item. I may give people the details on the jig's I've had designed so people can try it themselves.
