I made a part for my car :)
Hi,
I realise some might find this a bit silly but all the same.
While waiting for my mechanic to have time to fix my torque converter problem, I decided to make a part for the gear selector stick in my XK8.
I dont know if it was just missing from my car or if it was never there but in any case I made it for fun
It is threaded on to the gear stick and so easy to remove.
Let me know what you think.
shaping the Stock.
the finished part installed.

Not instead, in addition to! I have my metal lathe and mill and so glad I have it; sometimes it's just making aluminum shift cable bushings for a Dodge Neon, sometimes it's making nicer parts . I am not good with wood so I have a coworker do it for me.

When I get to my retirement destination I'm going to buy a substantial wood lathe! And, hmm, maybe a small metal lathe and small mill.
