Possible but not definite brake lever handle from MBA

I just got my A4 adapter and shift **** installed, and it looks great... So I emailed Paul Roswell of MBA to tell him that...
I asked him if they had anything in mind for a brake lever handle... and he said that they were "floating around" a couple of designs, they just need the time to do it...
So i am not saying ANYTHING definite... just a cool possibility....
It would compliment my new **** very well. That's what made me think to ask him.
well, take it light guys!

Sounds kinf of cool. I love my shift **** I have from them and my TB plate. They need some more new products and unique ones at that like E-brake levers and aluminum seat belt loops wouldnt be a bad idea either if they were relatively cheap.

MBA typically doesn't make relative cheap stuff and for good reason... all they have is nothing but the best.

I do very much like your idea of the aluminum seat belt loops... I've already broke one of mine... I'll bet I wouln't break a billet one. LOL!

JohnL, has this been considered???

You know brent, I was going to say something along those lines but didnt lol, so you got me there. Kind of left it at using "relatively". But, you're right though, their products are high quality and the price shows.

Yep, and that's what I like to have on my car.

I hope to get the performance aspects of my 94Z squared away this summer. Once I get that squared away, I plan on being on a first name basis with the MBA guys. ie, I'm probably going to get carried away with their stuff. LOL!

For me, modding my cars is like building a tree fort... you never really stop. When you get done with the first level on the tree fort, what are you going to do... sit in it and drink tea? I think now... you build another level! Same with my car... if I can get my performance stuff taken care of this summer then I'll continue modding in the appearance area. I don't plan on stopping the mod fest as there is always something out there to get

I tried to do some aluminum seat belt loops a couple years ago , I was trying to cast them and couldn't pull it off, I think I kept getting the aluminum too hot as they were to porous when cold and I tried to polish them up



those would be really nice to have as well

It's kind of difficult deciding which area to mod first, because you want to do it ALL! haha... my motto's are "go before show" and "if it LOOKS mean,it had better BE mean"

If you look at my signature, you'll see that I Have a bunch of appearance mods.... they came with the car when I traded my 93 6spd for it... (i traded with my DAD... he was getting ready to sell his and offered me the trade because they were of about the same value... his engine was more fresh and tighter)
now I am trying to make it as mean as it looks. =)

nov194--- maybe the aluminum you were using was IMPURE
all of the imperfections could have disintegrated at the temp you had and left all of those pores. different metals burn at different temperatures.
