Transmission blankets.....how to?

[twopaws]

Has anyone here scratched a tranny blanket? Could you post a photo and give me tips for making one. Thanks ahead of time.

I dont have any pics but cloth hockey tape works pretty well

I used cloth medical tape colored with a black sharpie, then used thin strips of. Electrical tape with some photoetched buckles from a seat belt kit. I will post some pictured when I get home from work .

I don't hang with any Tranny's to know what kind of blanket they use, sorry, lol jk..

Medical tape work just fine. It gives a nice texture and structure. You can also use the tape as a blowerbag, seatbelts and window netting...here´s a pic of my Lenco-bag.

I like that will have to learn how to do that. Is that black tape or has it been dyed someway.

Wow that looks really good

I believe it's "dyed" with a Sharpie Bob. That's what I've heard of people doing. I'm sure you could paint it as well? Never tried it though.

Here's a picture of mine, It's 1/16th scale.

Electrical tape or Duct tape (I forget) and the straps are painted strips of masking tape.

here's a picture of a blanket for a lenco 5 speed. you'll note the the reverser has it's own separate blanket in this application. also to the side is a carbon fiber tub for under the trans. there is a manufacturer's label as well as the mandatory sfi label. you'll also note on this blanket it is equipped with lifting straps in between the 2-3 and 4-5 sections.
