I know this part cheap, but i'm a student and i can make it for free... so why not?!
On that note, without me going and stripping my column down to get the measurements... does anyone know how thick the disc is, the hole diameter and the pcd of the holes?
Cheers
Driftworks sell this part. Don't think they'd be greatly pleased with you ripping it off.

If anyone is annoyed with it then i'll remove this post.
As stated also: no, i'm not reselling them, just making my own parts from the standard nissan dimensions... It's not exactly a copyrighted design is it?! Why buy something i can make myself?
I'm also going to be looking into hub conversions, brake brackets to accept different brand brakes and a hole bunch of other parts.. any problems?

Because as long as you did not build one already, you dont know how hard it is to make one. Also, asking people to just get the measurements so you can go and make one ... hang on, that is called counterfeiting !
You want to do one because you can ? disassemble your steering column and take measurements yourself. Or spend £10ish to get one already done.
No prob, as long as you dont just go and copy other peoples work

I'm an engineer... making something like this is childsplay, and i was going to make the final geometry slightly different to shed a bit more weight as the DW and apex parts are total overkill for what is needed!!
So as for counterfeiting, the final part will be an original design and total unique, however the basic geomtry (ie the holes pcd and thickness) needs to be the same as what nissan specified, so that it fits! (is that ok by you??)

Dont Think this is ripping it off. The Guy just wants to make his own parts.
Technically the specs come from Nissan as they have to be to fit so how is it ripping off DW?
Just one of those things. No positive feedback, then why comment!

I had one of these before DW even existed so go ahead chap, make your own.Cant help with the dimensions I'm afraid.
YES! Once again this proves my point. Thank you!
No worries about the geometry dude... i'm in no rush

WIN! Cheers dude. IOU!
*EDIT*
Are they a set of Rota RB-X's in the background as well??? :O
