Hello, Here's a tutorial on how to build a B&M Shifter.
What you need:
-Plactic as thick as realtor signs(thicker my be used)
-Knife
-Shifter rod and ball
-Putty
-Silver paint
First off, I'll give you the dimensions I used on mine. They might not be exact, but it looked pretty close.
Width: 3/16 inch
Length:7/16 inch
Height(NOT including shifter post): 3/8 inch
Step 1: I cut out the main shape of the shifter body. I sanded that so it was smooth, and I also corrected the shape a little bit.
Step 2: Once I was satisfied with the shape, I traced the shifter body on the plastic. I cut that out, and I sanded it.
Step 3: I used Testors glue, and I glued both parts together.
Step 3: I then traced the shifter body twice on the plastic, cut both pieces out and sanded them. Then I glued them on to the shifter body.
Step 4: Then I cut a small rectangle, and glued it on top of the shifter, so the long end was sticking out from the shifter. This is the reverse lock out lever.
Step 5: I took Tamiya Leaf Silver (I had Gloss Aluminum, why didn't I paint it that color?) and painted the assembeled shifter body.
Step 6: Once the paint was dry, I took my left over shifter from an AMT 1966 Chevy Nova Pro Street, and glued it on top.
If all was done correctly, you should end up with this.
I apologize for the blurry pic, I had to use my scanner.
That concludes this tutorial, hope you enjoyed it! If you need any help, feel free to ask
Thanks, Andy
