Basically stole the design from TRD, but the dude i designed it for is going to sell them. He gave me 250 bucks for my effort.
Not bad for 2 hours work on the bridgeport… Obviously CNCing this would produce a cleaner look… I just need to press in a 5/16 pin and i’m all set…
TRD part
What i had to work with:
CAD
Finished
So when he gets sued you won’t have to worry about it, right?

Def not. So much in the engineering world is done like that. It’s not even for an existing TRD application…

Why did you not try to sell them yourself?

Does not matter, throw them on ebay and profit.
How about I make give you dimensions for a 91 beretta shifter and you “create” me one. I have looked and looked even on bstuff and nothing. just asking.

if he wants them CNC’s i can arrange it.
That would be a one off piece because the 91 Beretta market is a little slow these days…

Impressive work for you to take only 2 hours to make manually. Really. Nice job.
OT - Anyone know a place I can get a used Bridgeport? I have always wanted my own.
