Apologies for not responding sooner, been super busy lately and haven't been checking many of my regular forums.

You can cross me off the list, it's more than I want to spend but I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I'm interested in joining the list, take tails spot if he's no longer keen.
Any progress pics?

I keep getting emails about updates. I haven't heard back from Richard. Will update you once I hear from him

Its called expediting- the bloke who placed the order does the follow up - and advises those that are on the list of the status. Sure people will want to know how it's going.

Yes boss, that's what I've been doing but I decided to update everyone here instead of pm.

Sorry for the delay on these.
I am having some business partnership issues and these have been put on the back burner.
Hopefully there is some light at the end of the tunnel but at this moment in time I'm just not sure.
Apologies once again.

Richard.

Final update on these gear Knobs and I can't apologise enough about the outcome.
My arsehole business partner has completely bought out my 1/2 of this business. Not what I had predicted or wanted but in the end I am more than happy with the outcome.
There is however now, pretty much zero chance of me being able to finish these now. Shame.

Richard.

Shame indeed, although I hope everything with work is okay, Richard.

Thanks Richard for the update. I can source another shop to replicate these not a problem.

Guys if any of you have a lathe or cnc machine shop (or know a good one) in Sydney and interested in replicating this gear knob please contact me and I will arrange a meet up at your shop. I'll bring the original Moto-Lita gear knob for measurement.

Otherwise if no one here is interested in making these then I will source a third party shop by early next month. So far we've got 5 members interested. If anyone else is interested in Moto-Lita gear knobs made in copper please contact me.
