mikea96 Thanks, I saw those. I wanted something close to the look of the originals so I figured I would try to recreate, cant quite tell from JC's pics how close they are. Also, I wanted to dress them up a bit with the "Yokomo" engraving (not in the pic above but on Shapeways)... Ernie

Hi guys. Hope this is ok but I thought I would share some of the stuff I created on for my YZ10 rebuild: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/ernies Various plastic parts I drafted that might be useful to others.
