CNC machined cool little doo dads!
Ever since getting a CNC lathe
I've been making all kinds of neat little things aside from my regular line
of products, mostly just custom little one off parts for my car. Often
times I'll get bored or stressed in the garage and need to do something
else, so I'll look over at my car and say "hey, lets make that part in
aluminum". This page is your chance
to get in on some of the action, to enjoy these neat little parts too!
I'll admit that some of them in the future might be fairly pointless, just
cool decoration, however there's nothing wrong with that!
240 Antenna Hole Plug
I made one of these late one night while getting
ready for a car show, ever since then I've been asked to make more. Most of
us with 240's have long since ditched the silly factory antenna that sticks
out of the trunk fender at weird angles and doesn't work that well anyways,
I installed an A-pillar antenna from my '85 244, looks and works much
better. But now we're left with a 3/4" hole into the trunk! Mine was plugged
up with a sticker for 4 years to keep the leaks out, surprisingly worked
great, but I knew there was a better solution. It installs flush with
the fender and uses an o-ring to seal the moisture out. Stays nice and shiny
for a long time, plus a quick coat of wax (along with the rest of your car)
will keep it fingerprint free.
Overkill?
Definitely. Beautiful? You betcha.
$25.00 for one plug shipped

240 Strut Tower Cap
Same as the antenna plugs, I was up late one
night getting ready for the Carlisle car show and thought it would be sweet
to make a pair of these. Purely made to look good and be a
conversation starter. This one took me quite a while to figure out,
but the end result was worth it! I only had time to make one for
myself.
I'm not quite ready to produce more of these
yet, have to make a new tool holder for my lathe first. But if you're
interested, feel free to send me an e-mail. I haven't nailed down
pricing yet, but I'm thinking around $45 shipped for a pair. The
design might change a little bit, and I might get creative and engrave a
logo into the top or something.
