That should work! I'm taking my stock wheels off shortly, so I'll have my currently horrible looking ones to work with...

Have to figure out how to hold the cap while cutting, and will need some smaller cutters to cut the 'SVX' to a smaller scale.

I'll put it on the list to do after I get this hold down figured out.

SVXCESS sent me a PM on how to best fill caps, I'll PM that to you.
John may like this idea too

Re: CNC machined parts for SVXes coming

I am interested in seeing some things with the Alcyone emblem. Like maybe even plates small enough for key chains.

Re: CNC machined parts for SVXes coming

I was thinking of this as an alternate battery bar design, so then I could sell them to the XT6 people too
A scaled version could work for a keychain too I suppose.

This is a hi quality MSpaint concept rendering



Seriously though, I could use a good file of the alcyone horns, anyone have something good?

Re: CNC machined parts for SVXes coming

Steve, you should also consider custom jobs. What input your CNC reads from? pdf? CAD? Sorry for my noobish question.

It reads a g-code file. This code can be generated a lot of different ways. Like from a CAD file, or with a little finishing work, from a jpeg picture. Higher resolution the better, and line drawings are better than colored/shaded, but there's usually a way to make it work.

Roughly in order of ease:
1. CAD file
2. Line art drawing
3. JPG type file
4. Photograph jpg

Woot! 1000 posts!

Could that be used for the door sills entry plate?

I would be interested in something like that as well.

[Noob SVX owner raises hand] I'm in for a battery tiedown -- it's one of the many things missing from my car. Always more than happy to help someone pay for their new toy!

I found good files for the Alcyone and the horns, maybe next week I'll cut one to see how it looks...

Re: CNC machined parts for SVXes coming

There is a poll going on about tow hooks being grounded down. Some lower profile prettier ones may be in order.

Re: CNC machined parts for SVXes coming

How much do you think a battery tie down, with svx would cost? I think I would be interested as well.
