Pete Lewis Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 in the light of the 3D printing parts idea post and young Louis success in the trial manufacture of a small part for GT6 Spitfire door release mechanism we feel its now needs a list of smallish parts that are no longer obtainable so any bright spark ideas please post them on here for our perusal who knows where this will end up but you never know watch out Dragons den .

Badwolf Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 This is a brilliant idea. Well done to all concerned. I beleive that many of the parts plus a scale minuature were 3D printed for the destruction of the Aston Martin DB5 in the James Bond film Skyfall. This could be the start if full 3D replication of complete cars... for a price, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted August 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 i can see that there.s no parts required ,, its fine we know theres a big P in PARTS but we really need a few ideas to kick around and not take the P in parts if you get my drift pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AidanT Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 OK Pete i will start off - these you just cant get as they are plastic anyway and all the originals are degraded - I have had to stick mine together with a wooden strengthening ring ROOF LAMP ASSEMBLY GT6 INTERIOR LIGHT COVER PN 625616 Might be a b*** to do though Aidan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted August 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Aidan we would need a unit to assess if it can be copied do you have a rough one ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AidanT Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I don't no so that could be a problem I wonder if some one else doing an internal refit can help.There is also the issue that apparently they are very difficult to put back together again They are made of three items the base then a ring and on top of that the clear plastic lens Maybe this is not a good item to try. Let me have a think Aidan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Cooper Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Louis says he could possibly work from good quality pictures plus measurements. The ideal would be to have pictures with a digital calliper showing dimensions such as the overall length, width and height plus the width and height of the bezel. He could work out the parabolas of the shape from these apparently. Can't tidy his bedroom though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougbgt6 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I would like new ratchet levers for late GT6 rear adjusting drum brakes. They are metal, get bent and once bent don't work. they are impossible to bend back into shape. Currently I have to take off the wheel and drum to tighten up the brakes, a real pain every couple of 100 miles! I wonder if a modern 3D composite would do the job? There's not a great deal of force involved in the system and I suspect a modern composite would keep it's shape. The problem is the metal ones are ALL bent so where would we get the masters to copy?

AidanT Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 That's the same part Pete but the base is also needed does yours come apart easily? And do you have a separate ring at all? Aidan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc F Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Sorry, early days in my resto so I have no idea, but I do like the initiative you are taking here, exploring 3D printing. You may want to set up an eBay shop front so we can find you as you expand the range of bits possible. Thanks. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
