Part I - 58059 959 / Celica Gr.B R PARTS cnc
Broke a few of the original R Parts [the plastic is so brittle] including one nip I purchased recently. Tired of the $$$ cost of replacing them so I decided enough was enough. I made a few for runners and my friends. This is version 1 and it looks and functions well. Slightly different in design from the original shape - I designed them to keep my costs down. Now, I'll just have to see if I can make the hubs too - the originals have a few weak spots. Member comments are always welcome.
at last! a replacement that will not fail me.

You lucky guy! I have two celica's and a porsche i have restored all three chasses at the cost of a small fortune! Just got to get round to painting the bodies. Great work!

I don't think you will be breaking that anytime soon. Nice work.

Hi! It looks great. Would you care to make a couple for me too? I am interested in hubs as well

Hi mudslinger, we're both in the same boat my friend.

Crash Cramer, Thank you for your comments. I'll post some additional photos once I've completed and installed. I've got a coupe of mod ideas I wish to address - see how they work - They function well right now - I guess I should make them look sexy too!?

fritjofarnold, I'll price them out once I get the process down pat.
As for the hubs, I'll look more closely at them shortly - I've noticed hairline cracks in the shock support mounting area as well as fractures on the section where the tapping screws thread onto. I've used a silicon tube as a solution but it's only a bandaid solution right now.

My mate is a cnc engineer, i have tried to blag him for ages to make some of the really rare and expensive bits from alloy! Told him he could make a small fortune if he was to do it but he just doesnt have the same passion for it.

I dont know about making a small fortune - maybe enough to cover the time & cost and support this joyous habit.

This is true mate, i do know there is a lot of time goes into the programing to make stuff like this!
mudslinger - have you any parts I could buy for celica/ porsche? I need r parts
...sorry, I mean't homerboi
homerboi
Parts installed, looks sexy and best of all - fully functional. Tolerances are good. I am very happy with the results. I'll run another batch of these off shortly and make them available to those that wish to have a set to compensate for the brittle & hard to find replacements. These are light weight and will take a licking.
