24 Dat Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Four 5 speed buttons for me thanks Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted August 10, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted August 10, 2017 Ok going to let this thread build a while to make sure we can capture as much demand as possible. I don't want to speak too soon, but we may be able to get the next batch made using a slightly more durable resin so going to have to prototype it to see how it turns out.

Agno Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 If you have the ability to replicate the red 260Z knob insert I'd be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Insert looks good but where to find a suitable knob? Anyone have a spare they want to sell me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Found myself a gear knob. Count me in for one button. Thanks. gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you got 1, but eBay US (4 speed knobs) best place to get them cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24 Dat Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 If you have the ability to replicate the red 260Z knob insert I'd be interested. I would be interested in 3 of the red inserts as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted August 14, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted August 14, 2017 Not sure I'll be getting those made, but sure if others have interest perhaps we can see what kind of demand there is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Gav would it be worth while starting a new thread "Red Gear Knob Inserts for 260Z's"? I am not sure what years the 260Z came with the red gear knob inserts, do you know?

George Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Are you holding a couple of these for me Gav? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted January 24, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted January 24, 2018 Are you holding a couple of these for me Gav? Did I not post them out to you? If not that's ok I probably do have them somewhere in a bag with my own collection. Can get more anyway from the looks of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I think you kept them because I had the lamp to collect. All good Gav. I'm about as far from needing them as possible. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted January 24, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted January 24, 2018 No problem I probably put them in your parts box I've been keeping here then. Will have to get it to you at some point. George 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvemfast Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 If you have any more Gav, I'd like to grab one please. gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted January 29, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2018 David has posted me a bunch more, so yes more to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilltech Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 So how many have you supplied now Gav? Dozens? Why are so many people needing them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted January 29, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2018 So how many have you supplied now Gav? Dozens? Why are so many people needing them? Some missed out in the first couple of rounds, lots of folks in North America wanted them (because they had 4 speed buttons only). I gave a bunch to a friend in San Francisco and he's been slowly selling them for me over there. In return I've used the cash to help buy some parts over there and he will help ship back some panels this way at some point. I am surprised by how much demand there is actually. I think a few people grabbed a couple because we had the disclaimer that the resin may not hold up over a long period of time and may crack like the originals so people wanted spares? Sold a few to Lindsay at Zshop a while ago also, so I guess more and more people are trying to go original these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilltech Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Ah, for the Americans wanting 5-speeds, that makes sense. Good initiative. I didn't realise they degraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted January 29, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2018 I didn't realise they degraded. Well that's what we were told by the trophy maker, as to how long they will last in the real world I have no idea. Hence why they were sold as cheap as they were.

luvemfast Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 They'll degrade in the sunlight I guess...... So they'll last ages for us, given they hardly see the light of day! Shoot me details Gav and I'll pay you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted January 30, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted January 30, 2018 They'll degrade in the sunlight I guess...... So they'll last ages for us, given they hardly see the light of day! Shoot me details Gav and I'll pay you I was on my phone last time I replied so always hard to go into detail, but I believe the Resin tends to "shrink" over time and that leads to the cracking. I believe this new lot have a better Resin, and are a little more expensive to produce, but we really have no idea about longevity (since we haven't tested them long term in an automotive environment). Thing is, I bought an aftermarket reproduction knob w/button from ZCarDepot in the US for around $100 USD. Comparison here: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/15775-gearknob-inserts/?p=189382 But have no idea what kind of resin they used...we just decided to let folks know as a disclaimer and charge a small amount so nobody can complain if they do fail. . I will put you down on the list, but only will take money once the package has arrived and I can confirm I have them in stock I think you kept them because I had the lamp to collect. All good Gav. I'm about as far from needing them as possible. Haha Found this last night and yes the buttons are with your Koito lamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
