G8KeaPoR Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 So I have a brother Speedio s500x1 in my garage and while i do side work (not solciting that here.) I was wondering what you think I should make first for my 510. I have planned to make the vents since the ones on ebay have a rigid finish that isn't me but that is kinda down the road since the previous owner shaved the vents and with a newborn baby days away a 15k from a paintjob from a guy I know that restores 50's Ferrari's is a bit rich for my blood at the moment. (Yes his price is worth it as you could eat off of his paint/body fab/restoration work and not feel guilty lol.) Anyway I have a ton of leftover material from some customer jobs that I could squeeze some parts and was curious as to what you think I should make. 1 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 There seems to be a lust for 510 fender and trunk mount emblems? I personally know that Nissan USA really needs a proper "Datsun 1600" trunk moumt for their new RL411 to replace the current incorrect PL411 emblem that they have, but that's a world population of known customers of one. Various "SSS" emblems,varies with the year and series, but let the customers come to you with a deposit before you waste your time on peninless flakes. 2 Quote Link to comment
cruznude Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 How about a crank pulley for my 620? Or some really bad ass inside lock things on door panel? Window cranks would work. 1 Quote Link to comment

G-Duax Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 How about a crank pulls for my 620? Lathe work, not mill. How about a finned timing chain inspection cover? 1 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Start building your dime then when you reach a crossroad that requires a hard to find part....well....you make it. Very simple. 2 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Lathe work, not mill. How about a finned timing chain inspection cover? You can do that on a mill, it's just a while lot more work. :Lol: Quote Link to comment
G8KeaPoR Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Start building your dime then when you reach a crossroad that requires a hard to find part....well....you make it. Very simple. Thats the one problem I bought mine with a fresh restoration. Outside of electrical work (factory wiring is just ugly) It doesn't need much at the moment. Of course it is open for upgrades :P Quote Link to comment

I make tons of parts that would be better suited on a lathe for a Handa race shop out here. My mill cuts circles nice lol. Oh and yes I meant to say Handa lol. Quote Link to comment
G8KeaPoR Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Ratsun logos? Does anyone have an idea of what size they would consider to be to scale for the logo? Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Does anyone have an idea of what size they would consider to be to scale for the logo? Most of the stickers are something like 4" ear to wrench. Quote Link to comment
