More parts printed:
- Door latches
- Emblems
- Horn button
If there's interest, I can custom print emblems
- The blue parts are plastic (PLA) and as-printed without any cleaning.
-
I spent about 10 minutes cleaning the blue parts and then sprayed them with primer.
- Another 20 minutes detailing can make a big difference
- Plastic can be chrome plated, but it requires a lot of prep work as every flaw will show
The Horn Button
-
Still tweaking the pieces
- Three pieces Super-glued together
- Will need detailing to look smooth like the original
- I'm not sure the hardware for my horn button is correct - the button is too far above the steering wheel
Door Latches
- Not sure how the plastic will hold up.
-
It wouldn't pass today's requirements of:
- Double lock
- Door beam
- Roll-over test
- 500lb Gorilla tugging on the handle
- But, they're better than what's on my truck
- If there's interest, I could make a mold and cast them in brass or bronze (or alum or...)

I remember riding about in this truck, B61 as all B models were called a B61 pretty much in Australia
Had a 8V71 and a quad box from new as far as I know
Last time I saw the trucm was in the shed getting 671 instead of the 8V71
Went along okay with the 2 stroke jimmy
