I'm interested in the boots and need at least 3. But it's the shifter boot that I would like to see reproduced. PM me with details please. Keith

Considering the price for the 3D boot is $30 I'm not exactly sure the purpose of the exercise.
 

The purpose of the exercise is to explore the options for reproducing parts that aren't available, and for improving parts that weren't designed so well back in the 60's.  We have better tools now.  We could copy a part that has failed, or with cad analyse that part, figure out why it failed and make changes to improve it.  Or we could make a part that compensates for wear, such as larger nylon bushes in the shifters to take up the slack from worn levers.  We could add custom embossing.  3D printing allows anyone to make a custom one off instead of making a batch and then trying to sell the left overs.  The possibilities are endless.
