Rachet-style shifter. Someone point me in the right direction.

The subject says it all. Does anyone know of a 1:24 / 1:25 Hot Rod rachet-style shifter from a kit or available seperate?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey,

Do you have a pic? I have a bunch of hotrod parts, and might be able to find something like it.

I might contact them. I looked on the site and didn't see anything but it doesn't mean they don't have them. Thanks.

i'll check a couple of my links.'


edit. no luck. sorry man

I honestly cant site a specific kit but i would think a rail drag kit might be a good place to start. i would be surprised if this type shifter werent available in plastic or resin form. ill browse some bookmarked sites of mine and see if i can find something.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Yea, looks kinda like the floor shifter you can find in an older racing car. I'll check my stashes. Good luck otherwise.

i thought for sure id find something but nada. you may want to contact Best Resin as well as they had some T-shifters and Hurst shifters. sorry

if you take a motorbike handle... and cut and sand some it might look kinda like that...

I swear i was going to suggest something similar but its to expensive and alot of work. make the box out of Epoxy. use a similar shifter from a kit.. and Heller makes 1/24 motorbike kits you could steal a brake lever from but this is a bit extreme. im certain youll find something more practical.

Hmmm...I'll figure something out.

A laminated sheet styrene one would be simple. Three or four identical pieces forming the cross section of the main body. The middle piece(s) would have a notch cut out for the shifter. Create shifter from another piece of styrene, or a flattened wire. Add bits n' pieces to your liking.

Can't think of a kit that has one though, sorry.

The 'old' AMT Ertl Bigfoot kit, the one currently available in the stars-and-stripes motif, has a shifter than looks like that. I can check the other trucks from AMT and Revell when I get home today.

That would be awesome. Thanks.

you can get them from www.scaleproduction.de (http://www.scaleproduction.de) go to zubehor 1:24 in the menu then into metal an resin section, scroll down an you'll find it about half way down.
