Mrdarkmonkey96 Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Are you looking at something that's just a circular plate? If so, do you have 1:1 dimensions that are common to that type of plate? I'd be willing to include something the next time I draw up parts in that thickness. I think they're looking for the actual pins. I think they're called cotter pins or something?
futurattraction Posted May 20, 2013 Author Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) New photo etch stuff I got in. Most of it is 1/16th. There are 1/25th scale trigger wheel sets for five different applications (BBC, SBC, BBF, SBF, and Big Mopar) that I'll post separately. 1/16th chassis tabs and brackets 1/16th upper strut mount gussets 1/16th lever set 1/16th wheelie bar housing kit 1/16th front end mounting brackets 1/16th dragster cockpit controls 1/16th drilled large OD rotors (11.75") I've also got two styles of safety harnesses. I am trial assembling a set of each to see if they go together correctly. Here are pics of them. Edited May 20, 2013 by futurattraction
MAGNUM4342 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Several manufacturers made 1/24th/25th scale hood pin sets that included the plates, cotter style and torsion style retainer pins. That's what i'm looking for.
Casey Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Great stuff, Scott. You're making a lot of people very happy with this all this new p/e stuff.

Prostreet Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Wow amazing stuff Scott, i need to save some more pennies.
MAGNUM4342 Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 I do already see a lot of stuff I can apply to my Chargers though! Even without hood pins.
Mrdarkmonkey96 Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Wen you do the trial, may I see the completed harnesses?
futurattraction Posted May 22, 2013 Author Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) Kevin and Douglas - I am going to do some follow-up and see what I can come up with for hood pin hardware. It will take some time, so please be patient. Casey - Thanks. I'm hoping this will help fill some voids for larger scale builders. Onward and upward, hopefully... Hey Joe! Thanks. You've got to get yourself back to 100% builders strength so you can get lots of stuff from me! LOL Thank Kevin. I hope there are things that will help you out. Will do, Anthony. I am hoping to find some 3/16" ribbon in a handful of colors to include as belt material. I know it's available online, but haven't found any locally, so far. I am going to use the white medical tape and cut it into appropriate strips and try that in the meantime. Edited May 22, 2013 by futurattraction
Mooneyzs Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Hey Scott... I may have some hood pins in my 1/25th stuff. I know I had a set from S&S Specialties when they were around many years ago. I will get a pic if I can find it. Also on the seat belt material, Ribbon would work ok but from what I have seen there is one brand of medical tape that seems to look he best for the material for the restraints. I believe its a Johnson and Johnson brand. I just looked at the different medical tapes that I have and the Johnson & Johnson and 3M have ones that are really similar but the J&J has a tighter pattern. if you want I can take pics of them as well for you.
futurattraction Posted May 22, 2013 Author Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) That would be great, Chris. I think what I have is the J&J brand. Thanks for your offer of pics. I'm really close to having your stuff ready to send out... Edited May 22, 2013 by futurattraction
kitbash1 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Hi Scott. You can also try 3M Cloth Medical tape. It has a good weave pattern for 1/12th scale cars and takes colour from a magic marker very well. You've got some interesting PE parts that I could use for my Daytona Charger builds.
Mooneyzs Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Hey Scott... here are the pics that I mentioned I would get you. Here is the hood pins from S&S Specialties in 1/24th scale: Here is the two different brand of medical tape that I have: on the Left is the Johnson & Johnson and on the right is the 3M:
futurattraction Posted May 24, 2013 Author Posted May 24, 2013 Thanks for the info, Douglas. It's much appreciated. Chris, thank you for the pics. Tonight is grocery night, so I'm gonna see if I can pick up a roll of one or the other of those first-aid tapes.
