Message	For the shifter it was on a lathe. The motor mounts i started off on the lathe but I need to use a endmill to bore out a hole on each side so the bottom of the holes were flat, so I could use two bolts (one on each side) to hold the threaded rod that runs through it. A key chain I made on the lathe and then did all the X holes on the bridgeport.....I have way too much time on my hands my dead pedal "When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough." ~ Ayrton Senna "If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough." ~ Mario Andretti
