So I work at a machine shop and when I have down time I mess around and attempt to make parts for my Z. So far I made a heat shield for my intake, a nitrous gauge pod for the cubby (and it still is able to close) and a shift ****. Let me know what you think, future parts will be some wheels spacers and if anyone knows dimensions of a fuel tap I would appreciate it or detailed pictures with a scale hahaha

It's a 12mm o-ring btw. Can buy a pack off mcmaster-carr for cheap as ****. Dealer charges way too much.

I've made adapters to run Evo Brembos on a 90's tacoma, but unless on an application with no support there is no reason.

Awesome. I have access to some machines at work as well. Never used them but wouldn't mind to learn. Cool stuff for sure though. Just be careful if you make parts for people. Don't want to be held reliable in anyway if a part happens to fail. As well as getting in trouble on the forum for advertising with out a vendor sponsorship. Keep up the good work. And you are 100% correct on the BBK brackets.

I destroyed a set of injected performance solid mounts due to some wicked lateral movement during a spin out.. The IP's work well but I'd like something a little beefier if possible... Made out of 1 piece of milled steel a instead of having welding points....

Basically the aftermarket solid mounts are either a welded tube with a flat top n bottom n a bolt welded in each end... They are approx 1 7/8 round at the base n top...
I think they can be made bigger with more surface area... Mine broke at the welds both at a bolt n on the top plate of the other...
Solid mounts made from a single piece of billet have about the same surface area n have a single bolt thru the middle...
Again I am looking for something with more surface area and really strong bolts/ fasteners....
I'll look around n see Wat I have...
