Here is the jig I made for my upper and lower rear arms, it is set up with both sides functional.
The tubes are for alignment, and work on both sides
as well, I use powerful rare earth magnets to hold them in place for storage, this way the tubes don't accidentally end up as part of another project or In a scrap bin
Looks great!

So I signed up for random emails from Lamborghini after purchasing from the online store, I am entertained by this image...

Why is he looking so angry? Did someone scratch the car? Is he actually a car thief and is about to steal it?   Perhaps his Dad owns it, they had an argument while out at a dinner and told him to walk home in the rain.....?
Maybe it's because the valet parked it on the sidewalk?

Amazing work. I wish he would have updated that thread.
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

Hope everyone is having a great summer so far,
I have been reading about this build (not on this site,)
 but I am now wondering what ever happened with the project, does anyone recognize the car or the builder?
Seemed like an excellent amount of work went into his plug just wanting to see how far it got or if it was ever finished.

 Excellent job on these buttons! From my own experience years ago I know how hard is to reach it to this point and make it look like OEM quality. ::beers

Thanks guys, they have been quite a thorn in the side getting them to this point.
Once I have the circuits finished I will mount them with the computer drive and show them in action.

A bit late on posting these pics,
These are buttons I manufactured, the original files are to be credited to String as we have worked together on these.
The button was 3D printed initially and a few issues worked out, then it was moulded and cast in multilayered plastics.
After these have set, I then used one of my lasers to etch the icons onto the button face.
The internal LEDs are green for night illumination with the required buttons having a red led also for actuation verification.
Enjoy.....

Well now, it's looking like a Murcielago. That's always good news.

Understood completely and I agree, but yes this is a co-design and sharing some information with heavy investment is not always an option for the obvious reason and should never be considered an obligation as such, some requests are nothing more than challenges while others are genuine, I leave it to myself to decide who I share the most intimate details with.
This is a fair option and those who have ever asked for my help personally have always received it to the best of my knowledge.
