Carbon fibre thumb grip

[172Ben]

[tonyt]

started on your other one today ben, it was a real mess mate, and althogh its not perfctly fixed i'm hoping its enough so it looks good once done..

will take the carbon around the edges on this one as well.. be thursday/friday before i have pics, but at least then you'll have a pair lol..

Hows the 1st one holding up Ben?

 

[172Ben]

Its holding up very well. Im purposely being very hard on it, twisting it while steering etc and it hasnt flinched

Cheers tony, does look kinda odd, but if a passenger asked i just say im the guinea pig so was only sent one to try as not to waste

 

[tonyt]

lol... no worries ben,

they'll cost you nowt anyway mate, we'll try and perfect them over the next few weeks and go from there..

also next week i will experiment with rubber.. lol..

Tony

p.s. if anyone has a spare pair of thumbgrips (in excellent condition) they could do without for a few weeks I could do with a loan lol.. would make my task a lot easier...

 

[172Ben]

Very very happy with it, and i know that i appreciate your efforts as im sure others will once they get their hands on them aswell

Be good to have a matching pair though

 

[djdrastic]

Awesome ; Keep us updated guys.

 

[CHRIS-172]

Tony

 

[Macester]

someone donate there grips to this man! i would if i had an rs wheel.

 

[Tigger]

Would be a nightmare trying to get them off without damaging them I'd imagine

 

[dhampton]

I would, and I'm sure others on this thread would but they're all f**ked, hence needing CF replacements

 

[kevin.s]

heres a few pics of how mine went ill put a guide up in a bit

they aint perfect by any means but they are a 100 times better than they before

 

[Tigger]

Looks like good work Kevin, even if you were only experimenting

 

[Iridium]

Nice little touch that'll be Love things like that!

 

[kevin.s]

thanks just done the guide so itle be up soon as the admin say so lol.

Re: Carbon fibre thumb grip-my project too

hi everybody...

I'm from mexico city... (I alredy introduce myself in new member's) it's funny because one of the reasons to become a member of cliosport.net was this subject, recently I started this project, I had another fiber part (check the image) ...

the only parts that I need is the thumb grip...

 

[kevin.s]

looks like your car could do with a vac mate lol

 

[tonyt]

other ones done ben, will try and post tomorrow...

Tony

 

[172Ben]

Thankyou mate

 

[tonyt]

all packed and will be posted monday mate, hopefully by the end of next week i should be able to do these in carbon only so they can be simply bonded onto thr knackered ones, see how it goes... may also be able to do another option in a couple of weeks

Tony

 

[172Ben]

Spot on. Thanks very much mate

 

[Bigsy]

does look great

 

[kpowell911]

is there a price yet?

 

[J4mes]

any more news on these?

 

[tonyt]

perhaps ben could post up how his are holding up...

the rubber version are taking some doing, but i AM still trying..

may pan out that the best i can do is fix peoples and coat with carbon, not sure really but see what ben has to report..

Tony

 

[172Ben]

They are holding up very well, not fitted the right one yet as need to get it to sit properly.

The left one is still brand new, and holding very well

 

[tonyt]

the difference with the right one ben was that when you took it off i think some f the backing came with it, as it was deffo different to the left one...

good news though, means I can at least help people if they want them fixing...

Tony

 

[172Ben]

Yeh, as long as there not as battered as my left one was

It was fooked though!

 

[Tigger]

Glad this project is still going strong and new ideas are still being tried & tested

 

[Richhallam]

Ben knows i am very interested in these and if hes ok with it i might pop down with Digger to come see the finished article??

 

[172Ben]

Yeh thats fine mate, pop down Get dan to txt me when you can come
