Gear stick surround.

[Ballistic Banana]

I dont mind you think im a bit of Knob,but for some strange reason i woukld like to Try and make an Aliminum Edge to the centre console where the gear stick is.
I reckon it would Finish that area of quite nicely.

So I am searching for Ideas.

I though of something maybe U shaped that could slide over the edge but then there is some tight bends so that might be a nono.
Or maybe something Flat that is screwed or bolted to the console.Tastefully of course.

BB,

Sounds like a great idea, if you come up with a solution that looks right I would like to make the same for my GrifF.

I reckon its got to be aluminium and probably half round or similar in section, as you say it could be screwed to the console. The radius of the corners are a bit tight to bend something round though.

What about cutting the whole ring out of aluminium plate and filing it to get the right profile? - lot of work though.

But then it will look like an M3, no?

Naver been remotly interested in Beamers so didnt Know they had on.

Thought it might finish it off nicely

Are u saying that this is the only difference between the Griffith and the M3 at the moment

I agree that the area around the gaiter looks unfinished, I thought about padding the floppy leather bit out a bit as there is quite a gap between this and the fibreglass bit

I looked at this a long time ago with the idea to cast a unit to fit. Unfortunately the gear stick holes are cut by hand and therefore are different car-to-car. You could however make a one-off mould in clay to create a sand casting for you own car.
