Shift pattern transfers


Stan

Recommended Posts

I tried the sticker. It was great having 5 gears but those white edges were a constant reminder that it was only an illusion. I colored the edges black in a vain attempt to fool myself but deep down I knew the truth, it was only a decal.

 

Finally, I could take the deception no longer. I removed the sticker, forswore the overdrive, returned to only 4 gears.

 

Now I know what my engine is screaming at 80mph - TRANSFER, TRANSFER, TRANSFER!!

 

Please do this. I assume you can make them overlay the existing printing? A stencil with appropriate white ink would also be the bees knees.

My sticker (I tried 2 or 3) kept curling up and peeling off, no matter how much cleaning (alcohol too).  Gotta assure that it sticks.

A radiator shop is a good place to take a leak.

 

I have no idea what I'm doing but I know I'm really good at it.

I think $15. is well spent on a refreshed shift pattern overlay.

 

I'm sort of interested.  I'd prefer to spend more $ on a whole array of white transfers for shift pattern and other dash text.

 

Timely.  I've just started this same research for the switch names on the dash.  Early cars had none, 72 up had white text.  I have purchased an early crack-free dash for my 73 and need to put the text onto the dash to be correct.

 

Ganging up the die-cut pieces would cut down the prices, I believe.  It's not the material.  It's the cost of the die and the set up that gets less expensive the more copies you make.

 

Sorry to pollute the waters with a further request, but there might be some value in upping the order.

 

Lastly, it's CRITICAL that the process works.  Nothing would look worse than letters hanging off. :angry:

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
