Yesterday was again a very productive day in the shop.  After making all those shifters it got me thinking...  Since I've already got the tools all lined up and zeroed in to produce these shifters (which takes quite a while) and they're repeatably coming out perfect, maybe I should run to the metal store and buy a bunch more tubes and make even more shifters.  I made 12 in that last post, which fills all the orders that I have on the table, yet leaves me with no extras.  So I ran out and bought 12 more, 6 normal ones and 6 shorter ones for M90 shifters.  I spent yesterday machining those and every one turned out perfect.  Last night and this morning was spent threading the top of the shifters for the shift knob, I'll post a video I made of that soon once I rip it from my camera.

Next up, welding, bending, then nickel plating!
