Re: Replacement Parts Development Fund

If there are any requests, I can work on those too. I'll need to familiarize myself with Fusion360 (since it's free and I don't have a student license to other CAD softwares anymore) and no guarantee that things will progress quickly, but I'm looking forward to helping alleviate some of the dearth of parts availability.
That's great! I was hoping to recruit people with skills like this, hope you will join in if we can get the fund going.


Some practical information:
  • 3D laser scanning is not very expensive and requires little cleanup afterwords
  • You can purchase OEM strut housings with Bilstein inserts from K-Staff.. unless you want all the STI options.
