Suzuki Cappuccino Paddleshift Pivot

thingiverse

This is the 3d printed pivot-point for the Paddleshifters that I created to use on my Suzuki Capuccino, as documented on Instagram @wario_zx14 I've also included a dxf for the paddleshift handles, which can be laser-cut/water-cut/plasma-cut or hand fabricated out of flat sheet (~2-3mm) steel / aluminium etc. then bent to the preferrred placement. The paddle is then mounted to the pivot via 2 "ball-jointed rod-ends", such as: https://www.mcmaster.com/8411K311/ The pivot point is designed to hold 4 captive M5 nuts, and will accommodate 10mm long / 6mm diameter M5 shoulder bolts to allow the rod-ends to pivot. The lower bolt extends into the sleeve, and locates into an existing hole on the steering column of the Suzuki Cappuccino. The rear captive nuts are for M5 'grub' screws or bolts to further clamp onto the steering column sleeve. Also included the full Sketchup file in order to adapt to other bike-engined cars, and to help understand the concept. The idea is to add a mounting point to a push-pull cable or solid linkage, but I have not gotten that far yet... may update model once I do.
