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 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/shortthrow5.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/shortthrow5.jpg) What i had to work with: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/shortthrow2.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/shortthrow2.jpg) CAD ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/shortthrow4.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/shortthrow4.jpg) Finished ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/shortthrow3.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/shortthrow3.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/shortthrow1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/shortthrow1.jpg) ---

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

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. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/elise-short-throw-shifter-i-designed-stole-and-prototyped/56550.md?page=2)
