Any tried this paddle shift?

Just spotted this on ebay.

I was going to attempt making my own, but this seems well priced!

my concern is it is stainless and not alloy (stronger but heavier)

Any one know if it will fit to a sierra column with a bit of tinkering to the column?

I think even at that price I'd consider making my own. There is nothing stopping you doing a drawing or dxf file (if CAD savvy) and getting all those watercut. Even the 3D shapes could be done in a vice. I reckon if you priced it all up you could get it done for half that.

Only looking from a design point of view. At least then you can get it done in the material of your choice, maybe even carbon fibre...hmm no you've got me thinking...

Buy it through eBay/PayPal, pay after delivery. Then after 2 weeks you can get your money back, if not delivered

Yer I think I'll save my money after reading some of those threads. They're pretty old, but does a leopard change it's spots?

Problem with making my own is finding somewhere to do the waterjet cutting, the rest of it I can easily do myself.
I dont have CAD either, nor have I ever used it.

Even if he does send them, do I really want to send my hard earned money to someone who has ripped off plenty of people in the past?
I would rather pay more to someone else who deserves the business.

I sort of agree, the man is, possibly,rumour has it, a pillock!
But sometimes dealing with,possibly, a pillock is the easiest option
