Billet Battery Hold Down... [pics] - Page 6 - Toyota Yaris Forums

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

Hmm since Yoda is the name of my car. Do you think I should engrave that on the hold down instead?

Thanks,

Darn snail mail.

It didn't help that it sat on my desk for a couple weeks either I guess.

I'm pretty certain we got all the kinks out and it should slide right on there. You'll notice there are some little proto defects again, Chris. I went to a smaller endmill where the tab is machined and it vibrated on that part. No such thing will happen with the tweaked speeds and feeds for the production models. The radius tool also went a little deep and left a tiny step around the part. When we run lots we usually scrap the first one because we expect little setbacks like these until we get the offsets all tweaked out.

I can't thank you enough for your help Chris, and the idea!! I'm sorry this process has taken so long and that I wasn't more on top of communicating with you.

Looking foward to getting it after all this time. As of today though, still nothing.

I will be posting the installed piece no sooner it gets here though!

Hopefully once it's tried and tested, my perfect no blem colored one will ship.

*Chris07LB* · 05-10-2007, 05:29 PM

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 · 05-10-2007, 07:20 PM

Looks awesome!! Gonna look oh so sweet in cherry red!

YamilR · 05-10-2007, 08:04 PM

So when is production gonna start?

FJoel · 05-10-2007, 08:08 PM

I will contact the forum admins later today and as soon as I'm legit we will start the group buy

:)

Thanks Chris! I will take your notes on minor adjustments into account for the production run so they will be spot on perfect.

(Don't be alarmed by the adjustments, just a little depth tweak for the nut on the one end and a slightly larger notch for the fill caps in case the batteries molded plastic vary a wee bit...)
