Are you looking at commercialising that shifter/handbrake design? You could probably charge a fee for the CAD files so it can be cut locally (I'm in Australia)
For people like myself who are sketching mid-engine scratch build designs it's a solution to a common problem.

As Marc said, we will be doing a production batch of shifters for those that are interested. We are looking to do a group buy through one of the lotus forums but can post details here as well if people are interested. Or sign onto my facebook page and I will put some details on there nearer the time. (probably in the next couple weeks) Just search for 'Alitech precision'
As for releasing cad files to get it made locally. Im afraid that just wouldn't work. this is such a complex bit of kit to make that you would probably end up spending 2-3 times the amount to get one made as you would to just buy one.
But thanks for all the positive comments
Nice to see that people like it.

Nice to see that people like it. So we obviously needed a new clutch ....
What we didn't need was new suspension, however when a bargain appears....
You've got to go backwards to go forwards....
A 3AM finish on Saturday night but it was back together on Saturday morning so we could reset the geo and corner weight it..
It's a bit lardy but it does have full cage, extinguisher system and air jacks, along with three rads alone for the supercharger, so all in I don't think it's too bad, even with driver and passenger it's over 500bhp per ton

Just went through the entire thread again... mental, just mental! Awesome build and engineering going on. I can't wait to see what's up next.
Hopefully nothing! 
That said, I would like to rip out the entire wiring loom and start from scratch, it's been cut about a bit. Then there's always a respray.....

No matter what you do though, keep on posting pictures and updating this thread.
