    Anyone in here use a Bridgeport mill, or any milling machine, and if you do have you made any T4R parts of any kind? I’m curious, I can run a mill, we have a few in my dept. @ work.
    I wonder if there are a few good ideas you guys have for parts fab.

    A shifter knob? Would be neat to see some more designs

    My buddy has a Bridgeport and he's helped me mill out some custom brackets for mounting my roof basket (slotted holes in tabs). Kinda like the 4xInnovation brackets for my Rola basket, but different. I have a video if you wanna see some details, but the link basically shows you sorta what I made.

    Oh Grizz yes I think I would like to see what you guys made. I need ideas. I enjoy machining and getting all precise with it. I want to make stuff. Thanks!! But yeah, it’s just the visualizing and ideas I am lacking as yet.

    Sure thing, here's a direct link to the part where I talk about the custom brackets and tabs for my Rola Vortex basket! This could be adapted to really almost anything basket or rack related I think. I kinda put my own twist on the 4XInnovations style to make it much more quick-disconnect. I remove it regularly and it's worked great.
