Gilson Design Pty Ltd

Hi all, I've had this project on the back burner for some time and wondering if there's interest in getting a few of these made? its a cover panel for the heater on the Datsun 510. tbh, I've not seen one in a car before either.

Not every day you are on the business end of one of your designs, but this week I got the unfortunate opportunity to do so.

This is the Aussie 'green whistle', or a fast acting non-opioid pain relief device. It tastes like s**t, but pain relief is meant to be very good. It didn't work in my situation where I had a nasty little 5mm kidney stone that decided to take me out last Wednesday. I don't wish that pain on anyone, and apparently it's the closest thing a Man will have to childbirth 🤣😳

But to the design part: I was tasked with the job of reverse engineering the part from original 2d drawings and physical samples to retool for manufacture by an alternative supplier. Cool project for sure, and used by many.

Pray that I don't need to see you again! 🙏

While I'm working away at the digital dashes, I fixed up a problem on my ignition barrel for the Datsun.

there seems to be at least 2 variants of these, but after a lot of years, they clap out. the one i had didn't really lock onto the barrel and was a pain.

So i redesigned it to clamp onto the body of the key barrel better and still locks into the steering column surround well.

Is there any interest in these as well? tossing up making them as well.

The IC7 dashes are now manufactured and the 2 samples have come up awesome! going to manufacture more of these and some LHD's as well. I'll get the production run in stock within the next 2 weeks.

from here I'm going to then run the other dash types, and get them in stock too. i know a few of you have been asking, so put your hands up here and I'll get to those designs next.

thanks all!
Cheers
Duncs
