Unfortunately, I haven't had enough people sign up to begin production. I've had to refocus on other products for the time being. _________________ Forrest Walker Whitmore

Very interested in this as I just bought a non locker Syncro Doka over in Europe and at the very least will be adding a decoupler and probably both lockers so will need the console and finding a syncro console looks to be almost impossible. But do I need the mounting plate for it too? |

I believe you'd need a mounting plate for it too. I tried reaching out to people about borrowing, or even buying one - but no luck. I'd like to have that part reverse-engineered eventually.

Great! I've sent out emails to those on the waitlist in order to start collecting deposits, since I can't afford to front all of the costs myself. Hopefully we can get them out there soon! _________________ Forrest Walker Whitmore

I just bought a burned syncro for my 2wd to syncro conversion
It has no plastic cover. Maybe when it arrives, I can send you the bracket to copy for a cover?
I’ll have the Syncro late December, wont be ready to reassemble for about a year if that’s enough time?
Let me know! _________________ -Will

That might work out great! That's the one item I haven't been able to source. _________________ Forrest Walker Whitmore

Bump.
Did you ever make these units? If not, will you supply the CAD/CAM files (willing to pay for a single use - I recognize the time you invested). |

Well I'd like to see your plans. I found a very nicely done console CAD file but the metal reinforcing bracket is the missing piece. I've been plugging away on a cardboard mockup but still trying to understand how best to fab it - flat sheet metal, pound out the edges with a hammer, you know "it's in the details!" |

Definitely interested in this for my knobless syncro that will eventually have knobs if all goes as planned! Hope this can be a reality soon! _________________ -------

It's really only a bezel. You need the metal frame that actually houses the switches. Rather than waiting on someone to 3d print one, someone could pull a mold off of an existing one in fiberglass and could then lay up replacement fiberglass bezels.
The problem like many neat things I see here, is the demand is just not there for the effort. If you charged for your time, they'd quickly be too expensive. _________________ ☮️ |

I'm in for one! Would be willing to pay in advance if that helps it along. |
