Reverse lockout.
I've been thinking about running a batch of reverse lockout knobs and the T-slot wedge. Mines been cracked where the set screw is and when it backs out enough you can kiss reverse goodbye. But I'd make them out of aluminum and black anodize them. Just don't know how big of a demand there is for them. If not I'll just make one for myself.

Re: Reverse lockout.
I think that would be a great idea Rick. The closer to stock in appearance, the better. I'm surprise these can even be obtained from the dealer. When you have an idea of the cost, I may be in for a few.

Re: Reverse lockout.
I'd probably be in for one. I was just thinking the other day, I wonder how long until that stupid little set screw strips out the plastic.

Re: Reverse lockout.
Mine was MIA when I bought the car, but I ended up having a 95 shift rod with the crash-thru detent put into my ZF when it got repaired.
probably a lot of people need some kind of replacement- maybe beyond the ZR-1 cars as well. |

Re: Reverse lockout.
Very good. I'll run as many as I can get out of one bar of aluminum. I'll figure out a price once I start running them.

Re: Reverse lockout.
Would that be a 20ft bar of 6061T6? Holy Cow batman! That's a lot!

Re: Reverse lockout.
Oh no Jerry. Just out of what I have laying around here. I think I have a 3' long piece of 1.00 dia. A 20' bar would make just under 175. I probably wouldn't live long enough to sell all of those . Lol!
