    2000 Escalade console latch

    Good to know it works with Stock parts! And Thank You for the diagram of the other parts. Those will help finish the whole replacement setup. :cool: I do see a few areas I can improve to make that one part stronger. I'll also add a few things that will help stop that outer part from breaking in...

    The part is on it's way. I'll PM a Tracking Number.

    Guess @gsmach1 don't want that free part.

    2000 Escalade console latch

    Send me your address and I'll ship one to you. I could also use some measurements of the button part and the latch part if you would be so kind.

    2000 Escalade console latch

    I'd like to find someone that needs just the outter part and has all the internal parts. I'd send a test print of that to them at no cost.

    Prototype work is going great. Once everything is tested and working as it should? I'll finish the detail and print at a finer setting.

    Down the road a bit and I have most of the parts designed. A few more days and I should have the working prototype done. And NO. I will not release the STL files!

    2000 Escalade console latch

    Started the base latch part that holds the lid down. I had to adjust the scale in 3Ds Max to match my slicer program. I figure I'm about 80% done with it after a few test prints. Now to source the springs and finish that part before starting the other 2 parts. I'll use some clay to do some...

    2000 Escalade console latch

    Today I remove that top lid so I can start the measuring for the parts needed. I have none of the stock parts as the lid was screwed down and would not open. The first part I make will be the slider latch. That way I can get the scale and find proper springs. I'll also trace the shape of the...

    2000 Escalade console latch

    I've started 3D modleing the release system for that pesky top lid latch. (If you have a broken system? You know what I'm talking about!) I found good pictures of the parts so plan to 3D Print them to fix my lid. Think I may put "Bomb Release" On that button. :laughing1:

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Pretty much looks just like it did when I bought it Tony. But I'll get some pics.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Well. I did clean the 2000 Escalade a little bit. And changed the wiper blades after they kind of lost the rubber parts in a major down pour! That was a fun drive! A few months back replaced the WHOLE brake system front to back. Stainless Steel lines and such. Seeing as I retired a year ago...

    My 2000 Escalade found here

    It was the Pitman arm and Idler arm that were bad. Wife says it drives GREAT now.

    My 2000 Escalade found here

    Many think poly is the best upgrade for for areas such as the control arms and such. Not always true! Maybe as a simple 'Buy it and be cool' But there is a performance and longevity trade off. Poly is best for simple street exchange for the stock rubber stuff. Delrin AF? Self lubed with PTFE...

    My 2000 Escalade found here

    That's just what the Wife told me. Not sure what actually needed fixed until I talk to my Mechanic. I just tell her to take it to him if it acts weird. I'm more into the Opel GT and getting the stuff for that. As an example I wanted really good front control arm bushings for the Opel. Now I...

    My 2000 Escalade found here

    Will get pics when We pick it up from shop. It's a nice Caddy! Sure, some minor things to fix but a great example of a 2000! I like the looks. For a 2000? I think it was far ahead of it's time for style! One of those that just don't age. Seats in the Grand Am GT are whatever came in them. It is...

    My 2000 Escalade found here

    Months later the Caddy is in the shop again. Front steering stabilizer needed replaced. Nothing surprising for a 21 year old car. Of course this happened when the Winter Storm dumped several inches of snow! On a side note I did pick up the HP Tuner stuff that will work with the Caddy. Main...

    After some bargaining and wheeling dealing? It looks like a different Engine may be implanted. An inline 5 cylinder from a Colorado! L52 at around 220 HP. STOCK!

    1973 Opel GT build

    The 3.4 I'm building is a cast iron RWD lower end. That gets the FWD 3.4 aluminium heads and all intake systems from a Grand Am GT. A different cam and larger throttle body for the EFI. Plus a few other things I'm not remembering right now.

    Just a side note. Did you know the Corvette started life as "Project Opel"?
