Stainless indicator/wiper stalks
Turbo Mini Forums

A few years ago when I started modding Minxy I found a fella who fabricated and sold stainless steel indicator and wiper stalks. He'd spent months on them making sure the electrics, etc worked with them. But he seemed to disappear not long after and I haven't been able to find them since. Anyone know of anyone who makes them? I need some pimping stalks

you can get chrome paint wich would look the same just need toughing up every now an then

Done now needs redoing lol

good god!

surely you could just make some,

OR

just fit a mk1 colum the spin some ally down to replicate the end?

Chrome paint isn't my bag unfortunatly but thanks for the suggestion. The stainless ones I saw was all smoothed off so no 4 corners, they looked mint.

Arron, if I could make them then I would but my fabricating skills don't stretch that far.

i think i know who you mean... don jarr??

i think he was on minifinity a couple of years ago, he did some really unique things - moved his seat and collumn into the centre, fabricated a dashboard and made some fiberglass exterior door handles and of course the stalks which like you say i think he spun them up in a lathe

I've recently been using that paint on various plastic & metal parts. When applied it looks great. Not quite chrome, but very bright. The only problem with it is that it rubbs of very easily & jusy leaves adull gret/silver surface behind. Even after leaving for approx two months to dry after being applied to a primed & correctly prepped surface it rubbs away. So I would not say its suitable for anything that needs touching all the time. I tried to clear coat laquer to test it is well. But it instanly goes dull like lead

Denis O'Brien.

That's the guy

Now I just need to find how to contact him

Your welcome

let us know if you manage to get hold of him, was meaning to buy some but never got round to it!

Will do. He's not under the same name on TMF and I'm not on Minifinity so I've asked Daz (MF owner) if he can get hold of him for me. I seriously need those stalks, I'd swap my own mum for a set!!
