Here's the revised one guys...

I am sending it to Chris for final fit testing, and then we can make some and anodize them. I have to apologize to him, this has been taking way too long. I am a one man operation running a CNC mill that I purchased and shoe horned into my garage, and after my full time job which often needs more than 40 a week.

He has been a great help in making this new product for you guys, and I haven't been focused on it hard enough, I have to try and keep up with the FJ crowd where this idea was born.

Hopefully Chris will have some feedback and new installed pics next week, and if all goes well I'll become a supporting vendor so we can get these under your hoods.

Thanks,

Joel

Looks great!!!

It's nice to see that you're putting out so much effort even under the 40hrs of work per week that you do. Great job. I look forward to purchasing one in the future.

In my opinion I think it would be cool if the YW user name could be engraved on the hold down just to give it a unique touch for YW customers. Anyone agrees?

Custom engraving is free. So if that is what you want that is what you get. I get bored... :D

HERE IT IS!!!

I must say Joel, the piece looks fantastic!

The quality seem's like a final production piece, its just that nice.

Here's some new pictures of the FINAL TEST FIT prototype hold down from FJoel.

Extremely easy to install, and a very tight fit!

Doc Zaius · 03-30-2007, 10:39 PM

Joel... looks amazing!!

Are you going to be able to / willing to engrave the "RS" logo onto it?

eco · 03-31-2007, 12:21 PM

Just didn't for the proto... no problem on the production parts.

As for "RS," I can engrave just about anything you want. I engraved an F-16 for a guy on an FJ clamp:

supersweet!!

I would be very interested in A cherry red one that says Yaris on it. I will keep my eye out on this thread. No difference with sedan and liftback right?

*Chris07LB* · 04-06-2007, 04:02 PM

Both sedan and liftback battery hold downs are the same.

Unknown_Epiphany · 04-06-2007, 10:34 PM

Thanks for the info Chris. Your car along with a few others make me wish I had looked a little harder at the liftback.

sdmf · 04-07-2007, 05:09 AM

i want a cherry one, with the vitz lightning bolt if possible i think that would be sweet.
