Ordered...now to contact Adam for switches

[RuckkehrMiata]

You picked my brokest months to basically make everything I would want.

[Cxmoney]

uh oh.... I really like these....

[RetroModern]

for you guys, i can make a couple more if need be, whenever you want them. I don't forget people who have been loyal to me.

[Cxmoney]

Anychance you've got more pictures of them installed? Would love to see more views.

[RetroModern]

I just did that one mock up real quick but ill see if i can get them outfitted to a switch assembly.

PS: I designed these for the DIY people and was hoping that they would also fit RevLimiter's switches but after speaking with Adam, he says that they would not fit. Therefore ill have to rework them for people who have the switches.

[Cxmoney]

drats. I have his switches and wanted to see how they looked from afar, but if they wont work, then I cant use them. =(

[Phatmiata]

I like shiny stuff, LOL Ill bite :blaugh2:

[RetroModern]

Adam has graciously provided me with the dimensions for his switches. So I'm re-tooling to make them specifically for the RevLimiter switches. These will be only for the DIY-er.

[ezmfne]

in for a set if they will fit my Rev switches

[RetroModern]

Dont buy anything yet if you want it to fit Adam's switches. I'm waiting on the tap to get here so i can thread the collars for those. The ones you see pictured, the DIY ones, are ready to go.

[Das Miata]

Are there still plans to release window switches?

[RetroModern]

Nope, Adam's got that handled so ill be providing back-up accessories if i see a need, or if he needs/asks for them as in this case.

[Das Miata]

I see I was really hoping for an NB option

[RetroModern]

ahhh i see. well that's totally do-able.

[revlimiter]

I've been trying to bring NB switches to the market for years. Things always pop up like gauge orders... There's always been requests but never someone with cash in hand or serious orders.

[RetroModern]

Lets make it happen, Adam. Ill send you an email later tonight to discuss.

[JamieH]

So I received a small package in the mail today.

These simple and small pieces make such a difference. And at such a low price, you'd be a Scrooge not to add them to revlimiter's switches.

[drv2fst]

Freakin nice ! much cleaner, can hardly wait till mine arrive.

[Dandy]

If these now work with Revlimiter's aftermarket switches, I am in.

[drv2fst]

Do these work on RevLimiters Hazard switches ?

[RetroModern]

BEAUTIFUL! :D yes, i believe they should work with any of Adam's switches. I'll have Adam confirm.

[revlimiter]

That is LOVELY!!! Damn. Well done Ken and Jamie!

As for the hazard switches, I'm just guestimating, but those rings don't look much larger in diameter than the stock knurled nuts. They shouldn't cover any more of the LIGHT/DOWN or Hazard graphic than the original nuts.

[RetroModern]

In case anyone is confused by the pictures which clearly show 2 different collars, the first picture that i posted was intended to be used by people who are DIY-ing their own switches.
These recent shots show collars that are specially created for use with Adam's switches, to his specifications. They're a complete plug and play option, as shown. If you want your own set, you can order them through the RevLimiter site shortly.

[revlimiter]

Yup! Ken hooked me up and I'll be able to either provide these with new switches or offer upgrades for existing ones. Very excited about this!

[revlimiter]

Sorry to not be able to offer these yet. The USPS is currently having many bad days in a row. I'm waiting for them to deliver the rings.

[RetroModern]

My apologies to the community and to Adam. This is the reason why i have a huge distrust for shipping companies. Adam, i've emailed you the case number.

[revlimiter]

The little trim rings arrived!!! I'll have pix in a few days. In the meantime, if anyone wanted a set just let me know.


Thanks for the USPS kick, Ken. It's odd how you put in a case and then the package was suddenly found. If you'd not bothered them, I wonder if it would have ever been delivered?

[RetroModern]

believe me, i would have done more than just bothered them if they didnt find the package. i know people who know people who know other people who have an unlimited supply of burning dog poo that just might have been left outside their office doors....just saying..:D
