Is there anyone else that got so fed up looking for hard to find parts so they got a 3d printer to try and make some?
I love it when guys/girls think outside the box. I'm paying close attention!View attachment 1715486423 I think the size is about right, now to get some chrome on them View attachment 1715486424
The second picture is another idea I had. What do you think about that with chrome on it?
Maybe some LEDs will help with the safety aspect?It's going to destroy the safety performance of the stop lights (most/brightest light comes out of the central area your "M" mostly covers up) so this is a super extra bad idea unless you're trying to get rear-ended.

Then isn't the safest solution to create red lenses with LED boards behind them? They would look very close to the original with the brightness of modern vehicles.No, there is nothing such as magical LEDs that will compensate for blocking off active lens area. Most "LED bulbs" don't work safely or effectively, even without the lens blocked.

I'd love to have amber front parking/turn signal lights for my '65 Dart Charger that other motorists could actually see on a sunny day.
I fix classic cassette decks in my slow times , no BPC (black plastic crap) and many have nylon gears, levers and clutches thay crack over time and temperature. I had a tiny spur gear made by a member here and it worked great. Just be aware of the melt temp. The low melt PLA can be 'lost PLA' cast just like lost wax casting. Make something ie. 1 Weber DCOE mount for a 3x2 slant six setup, lay it up in plaster or casting mayerial and then burn the PLA out a drain in a 500F oven forna few hours. Fill with molten Aluminum...repeat, repeat.
Nice deck! I have a Sony TC-K71 Discrete 3-head. Looking for a -K81 with the built in test tone oscillator. I fixed my -K96R auto-reverse with the 3-D spur gear.Good to know. If my Nakamichi LX-5 ever needs some TLC, Ill look you up....
